  • Title: Unilateral ptosis and contralateral eyelid retraction from a thalamic-midbrain infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging correlation.
    Author: Galetta SL, Gray LG, Raps EC, Grossman RI, Schatz NJ.
    Journal: J Clin Neuroophthalmol; 1993 Dec; 13(4):221-4. PubMed ID: 8113431.
    Abstract:
    We report a patient with a third nerve palsy and contralateral eyelid retraction from a thalamic-midbrain infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging confirms that this unusual clinical combination, previously termed "the plus-minus lid syndrome," results from a lesion in the region of the nucleus of the posterior commissure with extension to the third nerve fascicle.
