Abstract
Selective paralysis of downward gaze is known to be rare. There are 6 cases reported in the literature based on neuropathologic and anatomic al studies, We report a 60-year-old diabetic and hypertensive patient with isolated down gaze palsy, Computed tomography failed to show the lesion in the periaqueductal region, and the diagnosis was made by Mag netic resonance imaging, The case presented is the only one still surv iving.
