Partial pontine hematomas.

Two hypertensive men presented clinically with small, largely unilateral hematomas of the pons and midbrain demonstrated by computerized tomography. Clinical manifestations included "ocular bobbing," complex forms of ophthalmoplegia, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, and pyramidal tract signs. The "typical" sings of massive pontine hemorrhage--including coma, pinpoint pupils, and hyperthermia--were absent.
