Description
Mauricio Benetti and colleagues present a stroke case where an eye-movement syndrome pointed to hidden brainstem ischemia, reporting in 2026. Parinaud's syndrome paralyses upward gaze and brings a set of eyelid and pupil signs. Tumours near the pineal gland cause most cases, while stroke accounts for roughly a quarter. A 66-year-old man arrived with sudden double vision on vertical gaze, slurred speech, and unsteady walking.
Examination showed the full classic pattern of the syndrome. Brain scans and vessel imaging, though, showed no fresh lesion or blockage. Treating the picture as a likely back-of-brain stroke, the team gave clot-busting medicine within three and a half hours of onset. Recovery was complete within a day, and later scans confirmed no lasting damage. The authors urge clinicians to trust the eye signs when imaging stays silent.
