  • Of the 27 patients whose ophthalmoplegia was examined monthly, few had findings suggestive of supranuclear involvement: preservation of Bell's phenomenon despite paralysis of voluntary upward gaze in two, gaze-evoked horizontal dissociated nystagmus in two, preservation of convergence despite adduction palsy with conjugate gaze in one, and internuclear ophthalmoplegia in one. (neurology.org)
