Facial colliculus syndrome: MRI
61 year old male presence with conjugate palsy with
peripheral facial nerve palsy on the left. The MRI suggests tiny dot of bright
signal on DW consistent with possible facial colliculus region infarction
suggesting facial colliculus syndrome.
Teaching points by Dr MGK Murthy, Abdul Hameed:
-
Typically presence with peripheral facial nerve
palsy and conjugate gaze palsy in view of ipsilateral lateral rectus palsy (abducens nerve nucleus
nerve involvement) and interneurons connections in the medial longitudinal
fasciculus effecting the other side medial rectus innervation.
-
Facial nerve palsy is on account of breach of
facial nerve fibers at the Genu arching behind the 6th nerve nucleus.
