“…Early, mild diffuse symptoms might lead to a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, as in the case of Scoville (1949). As a rule, the onset and evolution of the symptomatology make it possible to avoid such errors.…”

“…Of the few reported cases to date, most were associated with blood dyscrasias, vascular malformations or hypertension. 1 " 6 Hemorrhage into the midbrain has also been seen in a small group of normotensive patients with negative angiograms and normal laboratory studies. 7 In addition, a more clinically benign form of non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage with a perimesencephalic focus has been described.…”

ABSTRACT:The case histories of two patients with clinically diverse forms of the very rare entity primary, spontaneous mesencephalic hemorrhage are presented. Each exhibited characteristic mesencephalic signs and neuroimaging profiles. However, both patients differed markedly in their predisposing factors, state of arousal, memory, temporal course and functional residua. One patient was unique in displaying a normal level of alertness throughout his clinical course and an isolated retrograde amnesia. The latter sign suggests a role for mesencephalic reticular activation in long-term retrieval and illustrates the differential effects of a subtle activation deficit on memory and arousal. These findings broaden the distinctive clinico-anatomical profile of primary, spontaneous mesencephalic hemorrhage.

A syndrome resulting from traumatic midbrain hemorrhage is described in 5 patients, 3 of whom had intracranial pressure measurements and 2 of whom had pathological examinations. The major clinical signs, evident immediately after injury, are coma, dilated (4 to 8 mm diameter) pupils that are fixed to light and dark, diminished limb tone, and impaired horizontal eye movements. The hemorrhages are single and linear or oval-shaped in the midsagittal rostral midbrain, extending several millimeters bilaterally. The appearance of the hematoma may be delayed on computed tomographic scanning, but early abnormalities of wave V of the brainstem auditory evoked potentials aid in diagnosis. Pathological features suggest that secondary brainstem distortion occurred soon after injury, perhaps resulting from a transiently raised intracranial pressure, but shearing injuries caused by acceleration-deceleration forces were also found.
