Conjugate eye deviation due to pontine infarction: Report of 2 cases

Conjugate eye deviation (CED) typically results from a hemispheric stroke involving the frontal eye field [1,2]. Although brainstem lesions can produce conjugate eye deviation, few studies have correlated the characteristics of conjugate eye deviation with the localization of brainstem lesions. Herein, we report 2 patients with pontine infarction who present with transient CED followed by contralateral gaze palsy.
