Supranuclear ocular movements comprise mainly vertical and horizontal movements. Vertical movements are controlled by the centres located mainly at the rostral midbrain and horizontal movements at the level of the pons.1 Pontine tegmental lesions usually present with gaze palsies, internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO), abducens palsy and one and a half syndrome. Usually, one and a half syndrome is produced by a unilateral caudal pontine tegmental lesion that includes the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) and medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) on the same side causing horizontal gaze palsy in one eye and INO in the other eye.2 Similarly, vertical one and a half syndrome has also been described. The literature on co-existence of horizontal and vertical one and a half syndrome is few. The co-existence of horizontal and vertical one and a half syndrome with ocular tilt reaction (OTR) has not been reported so far. Here, we report a patient who presented with left horizontal one and a half syndrome along with bilateral conjugate upgaze palsy and right downward palsy suggestive of vertical one and a half syndrome and left ocular tilt reaction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain revealed infarct in left rostral midbrain with sparing of pons
Eye Infections

Neurocysticercosis is an infection of the central nervous system caused by the larval form of the pork tapeworm Taenia solium. In the brain it occurs in two forms: parenchymal and extraparenchymal or racemose cysts. The clinical presentation of racemose cysts is pleomorphic, and is quite different from parenchymal cysticercosis. The clinical diagnosis of racemose cysts is quite challenging, with neuroimaging being the mainstay. However, the advent of newer brain imaging modalities has made a more accurate diagnosis possible. The primary focus of this article is racemose neurocysticercosis and its multitude manifestations, and includes a discussion of the newer diagnostic modalities and treatment options.
