Popis:	We report a 28-year-old male suffering from convergence insufficiency due to a unilateral lesion in the rostral part of the superior colliculus (SC). The patient visited the emergency clinic complaining of vertigo. Cerebral CT revealed a high-density area in the left SC. Head MRI showed swelling in the rostal part of the left SC. No abnormalities were detected elsewhere. The present case supports data from animal experiments suggesting that the rostral SC participates in convergence.
