Body was changed:

Parinaud syndrome (also known as the dorsal midbrain syndrome) is a supranuclear vertical gaze disturbance caused by compression of the tectal plate. This is most frequently due to a posterior commisure or pineal region mass (typically solid tumours rather than pineal cysts). 

It is characterised by:

  • a deficiency in upward-gaze
  • pupillary light-near dissociation (pupils respond to near stimuli but not light)
  • convergence-retraction nystagmus
