Obersteiner (5th edition, 1912) follows Bernheimerchiefly in his teaching regarding the complicated question of the locali-zation of the brain stem nuclei.^ Thus it will be seen that from beforebackwards the nuclei are arranged as follows: Levator palpebrse, rectussuperior, rectus inferior, obliquus inferior, rectus inferior, trochlearis. A complete unilateral palsy, probably nuclear (ophthalmoplegiacompleta), would then cause ptosis, wrinkling of forehead on same. I u I Fig. 90.—Scheme of oculomotor nuclei modified fromi Bernheimer.

Double vision is present and somedizziness in the early stages. A variety of individual rhuscle palsiesmay also result from either nuclear or peripheral involvement asindicated—ophthalmoplegia externa, when the pupil is not involved;ophthalmoplegia interna when only the internal muscles are involved—a rare condition. The distinction of nuclear from peripheral palsies is usually madeon the basis of accompanying symptoms—sensory or motor, dueto implication of the red nucleus, or of the cerebral peduncles.
