Published: April 2015

A 59-year-old man who complained of binocular vertical diplopia after an exploratory laparotomy, complicated by cardiorespiratory arrest during anesthetic induction, was found to have Collier's sign, anisocoria, complete paralysis of upward vertical gaze associated with convergence-retraction nystagmus on attempted upgaze and skew deviation with hypertropia in the left eye without ptosis, and an absent Bielschowsky sign. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a small lesion in the left paramedian midbrain compatible with microvascular ischemic sequelae. This patient was diagnosed with Parinaud's syndrome (dorsal midbrain syndrome) associated with a vertical strabismus from an unilateral vascular ischemic paramedian midbrain lesion.

Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is the most common type of strabismus, with surgical interventions standing as its main therapeutic modality. In recent years, with the rapid development of the strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology subspecialties, surgical correction for IXT has become a routine practice across numerous institutions in China. However, the surgical success rate is not high and tends to decline with longer follow-up periods.
