  • Title: Abducens-oculomotor synkinesis associated with internuclear ophthalmoplegia and acquired abducens nerve palsy.
    Author: Wutthiphan S, Foster SR, Poonyathalang A, Pongpech S.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus; 2006; 43(4):246-9. PubMed ID: 16915907.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of acquired abducens-oculomotor synkinesis, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, and abducens nerve palsy following brainstem hemorrhage. Weakening surgery on the medial rectus muscle did not eliminate the synergistic movement. The mechanism responsible for the abducens-oculomotor synkinesis is discussed.
