  Fig. 1 A 28-year-old woman with periventricular leukomalacia. A: She shows limitation of elevation in the right eye. B: Saccades cannot be elicited by a visual target in either the horizontal or vertical plane. C: Video head impulse tests show normal vestibulo-ocular reflex gains for the six semicircular canals. D: Axial MRI images obtained with T2-weighted FLAIR and T1-weighted enhanced sequences show reduced volumes of the periventricular white matter along with ventricular enlargement (arrows). AC: anterior canal, HC: horizontal canal, LH: horizontal position of the left eye, LV: vertical position of the left eye, PC: posterior canal.
