Abstract

We report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in two patients with divergence paralysis that was secondary to multiple sclerosis and pontine infarction, respectively. In both patients, cranial MRI showed lesions in the unilateral tegmentum of the caudal pons. Therefore, these MRI findings suggested that involvement of the nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis might be responsible for the divergence paralysis in our cases.
