Abstract

Total lateral paralysis in a case of "One and half" Fisher's syndrome accompanied by paralytic pontine exotropia is described. Oculographic investigation indicates involvement of the nucleus of the VIth cranial nerve. Paralytic pontine exotropia, may therefore be encountered where the VIth nucleus is involved.
