  Fig. 1 (A) T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance images at 1 week from onset, reveals leukomalactic lesion in the left midbrain. (B, C) Diffusion tensor tractography of the left oculomotor nerve shows a discontinuation (arrow) in the area where the left nerve exits the left midbrain, as compared to the right oculomotor nerve of the patient and a normal control subject (40-year-old male).
