  Fig. 1 Clinical and MRI findings of the patient. A: The patient's head was tilted to the right. B: The patient also showed hypertropia and limited depression in adduction of the left eye. C: Initial T2-weighted and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images showed an enhanced lesion of about 7 mm in the right pontomesencephalic tegmentum between the levels of the superior and inferior colliculi. D: Follow-up MRI showed a marked decrease in the lesion size after 6 months of systemic chemotherapy.
