Horizantal gaze palsy (HGP) in association with scoliosis has been reported in 42 patients both in orthopaedic and ophtalmologic literatüre. Bilateral congenital HGP is a rare disorder and the etiology of the gaze and associated scoliosis remains unclear. A maldevelopment or severe dysfunction of neurons of the paramedian pontine reticular formation (PPRF) was supposed by many researcher to be the causative lesion of HGP. Here we report a sporadic case with scoliosis and horizantal gaze palsy.
