Abstract
We report a patient with a third nerve palsy and contralateral eyelid retraction from a thalamic-midbrain infarction. Magnetic resonance ima ging confirms that this unusual clinical combination, previously terme d ''the plus-minus lid syndrome,'' results from a lesion in the region of the nucleus of the posterior commissure with extension to the thir d nerve fascicle.
