Abstract
A 62 year-old male patient presented with isolated oculomotor nerve pa lsy following a small infarction of the medial ventral midbrain, docum ented by magnetic resonance imaging. There was a 12-year history of hy pertension, but no diabetes mellitus. Angiography revealed atheroscler osis of the paramedian mesencephalic arteries. Magnetic resonance imag ing may be useful in patients with small brain stem infarctions.
