Abstract: A 32-year-old woman presented with diplopia and dizziness. Visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left. Pupils showed light/near dissociation. She had marked limitation of elevation and convergence retraction nystagmus. Results of anterior segment and fundus examination were normal. MRI revealed an 8-mm intraparenchymal lesion involving the superior colliculi without mass effect (figure, A). The working diagnosis was a tectal plate glioma. One month later, MRI of the head was performed with spin echo and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) axial images. The previously noted lesion measured 1.4 by 1 cm with new lesions in the right hippocampus, right frontal lobe, left centrum semiovale, right parietal lobe, and the genu of the corpus callosum (see figure
