Abstrakt: The article presents a case of a 52 year old man with eight-and-a-half syndrome. The patient was presented with a combination of right sided horizontal one-and-a-half syndrome and lower motor neurone seventh cranial nerve palsy. A combination of this type is known as eight-and-a-half syndrome. Facial nucleus/fascicles in the lower pontine tegmenturn was given to the observed clinical signs. So, recognition of this syndrome allows precise localisation of the lesion to lower pontine tegmentum ipsilaterally.
