Abstrakt: Millard-Gubler syndrome (MGS) is a ventral pontine syndrome due to an ipsilateral involvement of abducens and facial nerve with a contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia. Although classically described as a vascular brainstem syndrome, various other aetiologies such as infection or demyelination may lead to MGS. In this case, a young female presented with MGS, which was attributed to a strategically located infective granuloma of the brainstem. In countries, where tuberculosis is still considered an endemic, central nervous system involvement due to tuberculosis may have protean manifestations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
