Eight-and-a-half syndrome is a rare neuro-ophthalmologic condition, which is characterized by ipsilateral horizontal gaze palsy, internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO), and ipsilateral lower motor neuron facial palsy. We report a case of eight-and-a-half syndrome secondary to acute brainstem infarction. A 55-year-old gentleman with underlying diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented with a sudden onset of double vision in the right lateral gaze for one day.

Internuclear ophthalmoparesis (INO) is a horizontal eye movement disorder that is associated with a lesion at the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF). One-and-a-half syndrome occurs when the lesion involves the MLF and the ipsilateral abducens nuclei or the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) in the dorsomedial tegmentum of the pons. When the lesion is large enough, the fascicles of the facial nerve (CNVII) can also be involved, resulting in an ipsilateral facial nerve palsy.

Case report: Lateral medullary syndrome with eight-and-a-half syndromes.

Medicine (Baltimore)

February 2024

Neurological Intensive Care Unit, Hebei General Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China.

Rationale: Lateral medullary syndrome is caused by atherosclerosis or embolism of the vertebral artery and its branches or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA).The eight-and-a-half syndrome is a rare pontocerebellar nerve-ocular syndrome presenting as a one-and-a-half syndrome plus ipsilateral seventh cerebral nerve palsy. The dorsolateral medullary syndrome combined with the eight-and-a-half syndromes is even rarer, so it is important to recognize the features of the classical brainstem syndrome and the eight-and-a-half syndromes.
