Question
Can a 5 years old male have left conjugate gaze palsy involving left MLF, with simultaneous UMN type of facial nerve palsy as a complication of TB Meningitis? If SO ,kindly explain the mechanism.
Answer
Left conjugate palsy may be due to raised intracranial tension leading to lateral rectus palsy. Also the UMN facial nerve palsy could be due to vasculitis of the middle cerebral artery or a tuberculoma.
If both the abducens nerve and LMN facial were present, one would rule out brain stem vasculitis as the cause.
