- Abstract: A 49-year-old male presented with horizontal binocular diplopia without facial pain or skin lesion. Limitation of medial gaze in the left eye was revealed on neurological examination, which is accompanied by peripheral facial nerve palsy ipsilaterally. The diagnosis had been made based on the diffusion restriction lesion of left pontine tegmentum. We may denominate a “seven-and-a-half syndrome” and clinician should maintain a high level of awareness of the various syndromes associated with pontine lesions.
