Abstract
Gaze palsies are a group of midbrain affecting neurological disorders characterized by inability to move the eyes in horizontal or vertical direc-tions or rarely combination of both. Associated with movement disorder are lid and pupil dys-functions. These lesions have localizing values.
Parinaud’s syndrome ; named after Henri Parinaud a French neuro- ophthalmologist is a lesion involving dorsal midbrain.
The mesencephalic reticular formation that in-cludes the rostral interstitial nucleus of medial longitudinal (riMLF) fasciculus and its connection with the interstitial Nuclei of Cajal and Darks-chewitsch and the posterior commisure are in-volved.
