Juxtaposition of One and a Half Syndrome with Pseudo One and a Half Syndrome
Case Report Annals of Clinical Case Reports Published: 11 Dec, 2018 Juxtaposition of One and a Half Syndrome with Pseudo One and a Half Syndrome Edward Chai, Sirac Cardoza*, Ivan Rosado, Prabjhot Manes, Haidy Rivero and Adam Bernstein Department of Neurology, The Brooklyn Hospital Center, USA Abstract Conjugate gaze palsy with contralateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia or One and a Half Syndrome, is a rare neurological condition that was originally described in 1967. The authors present two patients, one with true one and a half syndrome caused by a CVA and another with pseudo one and a half syndrome caused by myasthenia gravis. Clinical presentation of these syndromes can be similar with minute differences appreciated on physical exam; however, the clinical relevance is quite large as the management is entirely different. Abbreviations INO: Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia; MLF: Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus; PPRF: Para Median Pontine Reticular Formation; CT: Computed Tomography; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging Introduction “One and a half syndrome” was originally described in 1967 as conjugate gaze palsy with a contralateral Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia (INO) [1]. The syndrome is typically due to a single unilateral lesion of the Paramedian Pontine Reticular Formation (PPRF) or the abducens nucleus, and the adjacent Medial Longitudinal Fasciculus (MLF) [2,3]. Damage to the former manifests as the ipsilateral conjugate gaze palsy. Damage to the latter interrupts the internuclear fibers crossing midline to the contralateral medial rectus resulting in contralateral adduction failure on opposite gaze [2]. The side of the INO refers to the direction in which the previous adductor palsy manifests and is contralateral to the gaze palsy. -
