| Popis: | The local expression of tuberculous meningitis has an high incidence. They respond to a Koch bacillus direct lesion or vasculitis disease. The clinic implication of ocular movement is frequent and usually answers to a nervous trunk direct injury. Exceptionally the clinic expression of the oculomotor disturbance is due to a conjugate ocular tract or nucleus damage. The posterior internuclear ophthalmoplegia is a well-known manifestation and correspond with a dwindle of the medial longitudinal fasciculus electrical transmission and lies in falling of the medial rectus to move synchronously with the contralateral rectus on attempted lateral gaze to either side. In such a case the medial longitudinal fasciculus is damaged between the sith nerve nucleous below and the opposite third nerve nucleus above. A patient with AIDS B3 category who presents right internuclear ophthalmoplegia and right eye vertical conjugate gaze impairment with left vertical nystagmus due to a paramedial mesencephalic stroke as debut of a linfocitary subacute meningitis is present. |
