INTRODUCTION: An @entity5971 ipsilateral to a horizontal pontine gaze @entity912 has been infrequently reported. We discuss the etiology and review the surgical management of this ocular motility defect. METHODS: Four @entity1 with radiographically documented dorsal pontine lesions and persistent @entity2112 with @entity912 were treated. In each @entity1 , the @entity5971 was present in attempted primary gaze, producing symptomatic @entity892 . An @entity22788 was required to attain single binocular vision. RESULTS: All 4 @entity1 underwent surgical correction to alleviate the @entity135 and @entity892 . Bilateral, asymmetric surgery was required to achieve a long-term successful result. @entity227 in the primary position with elimination or marked improvement of the compensatory head posture was initially achieved in all 4 @entity1 . One @entity1 , who had not undergone asymmetric strabismus surgery to reconcile incomitance produced by the @entity5971 , rapidly developed a @entity5971 . CONCLUSIONS: Ophthalmologists should recognize that concurrent @entity5971 may occur in @entity1 with horizontal pontine gaze @entity912 . @entity227 in the primary position, an expanded binocular visual field, and alleviation of a compensatory head position are achievable with strabismus surgery.
