The tendon reflexes in the right upper and lowerlimbs were exaggerated. Diminution of sensation and somewasting were observed in the right upper and lower movements of both eyeballs upward were impaired, andthere was complete loss of movement of the left eyeball to theleft, and marked impairment of movement of right eyeball tothe left; also, impairment of movement of right eyeball, butnot of left eyeball, to the righ
