A case of horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis

Abstract

Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis is a rare entity with few cases in the literature. Despite the fact the patient will not present with typical symptoms of this syndrome, clinical suspicion should be raised particularly in terms of imaging findings. Imaging findings are characteristic to flag the possibility of this syndrome. Keeping in mind such congenital abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging particularly for radiologists might help in the management process. Multidisciplinary teams play a crucial role in terms of communication to find the clinical, radiological and genetic studies to reach the diagnosis.
