Vertical muscle transposition with silicone band belting in VI nerve palsy

Abstract: A woman aged 60 years developed a Millard-Gubler syndrome after a diagnosis of a cavernous angioma in the median and paramedian areas of the pons. In this context, she presented a right VI nerve palsy, right conjugate gaze palsy, facial palsy and left hemiparesis. To improve the complete VI nerve palsy, we planned a modified transposition approach, in which procedure we made a partial transposition of vertical rectus with a silicone band that was fixated posteriorly. After the procedure, the patient gained the… Show more

“…Millard-Gubler syndrome, also known as ventral pontine syndrome or facial abducens hemiplegia syndrome, was first described in 1858, and was classically associated with a pontine mass [8]. Subsequent reports, however, have involved cases caused by bleeding and infarcts, and rarely neurocysticercosis [2][3][4][5][6][7]9,10]. The lesion lies above the level of the decussation of the pyramidal and spinothalamic tracts.…”

“…It is characterized by paralysis affecting the face and the abducent nerve on the side of the lesion and central hemiplegia on the opposite side[1]. It has been reported that MGS could be found in patients with brainstem tumor such as cavernous angioma[2-4], rimary meningeal hemangiopericytoma[5], neurocysticercosis[6]. As far as we know, only five cases of MGS caused by cerebral infarction have been reported[1,7-10].…”
