ABSTRACT

Primary spontaneous midbrain hemorrhage is a rare clinical event and their principal manifestation are neuroophthalmologic abnormalities; as a rule if are of a larger extent, there will be other symptoms as well. This disease is associated with vascular malformation in the brain stem and in some cases is indicated the surgical treatment for evacuation of a blood clot. We present the case of a male patient healthy previous, that presented with ocular pain and retro-ocular and oculomotor nerve palsy, to add posterior days cerebelar disease and by neuroimagen a lesion in the tegmentum of the midbrain compatible with a blood clot, the patient had improvement only by conservator treatment.
