One and a half syndrome was found, namely when asked to glance to the left, conjugate gaze palsy was obtained horizontally, and when asked to glance to the right, there was adduction inability of the left eye (ipsilateral). Right eye abduction was normal with present nystagmus. Paresis of right central CN. VII, XII was present, along with hemiparesis dextra (contralateral). Head CT scan shows hemorrhage in pons and intraventricular. Second case, female, 65 years old, came with a protruding mouth, vertigo, and sudden double vision Internuclear ophthalmoplegia was present, namely an adduction inability of the left eye (ipsilateral) when asked to glance to the right. Right eye abduction was normal with present nystagmus. no abnormalities were seen in the primary position and when asked to glance to the left. Paresis of right peripheral CN.
