- Cavernous sinus syndrome is characterized by multiple cranial nerve palsies manifesting with ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, facial sensory loss due to involvement of adjacent cranial nerves. Tumor, trauma, and non-infectious inflammatory disorders are principal causes of cavernous sinus syndrome. Rhinocerebral mucormycosis is one of the fatal causes of cavernous sinus syndrome usually in immunocompromised patients. Here is a case of cavernous sinus syndrome complicating occlusion of the internal carotid artery by necrotizing fungal sinusitis, which is highly suspicious of rhinocerebral mucormycosis with non-immunocompromised state.

Abstract
PDF
- Eight-and-a-half syndrome is a clinical syndrome with the combination of a one-and-a-half syndrome and an ipsilateral seventh cranial nerve palsy usually due to a paramedian pontine tegmental lesion. A 57-year-old man presented with dizziness, diplopia, and a left facial palsy. Ocular motor manifestations showed combined left conjugate horizontal gaze palsy and left internuclear ophthalmoplegia (one-and-a-half syndrome). In addition, he had a left lower motor neuron pattern of facial palsy. Brain MR images showed an acute infarction in the left paramedian pontine tegmentum.
