Teaching brainstem anatomy using a sharply-located demyelinating plaque of multiple sclerosis

Fragoso and her colleagues discuss the use of sharply-located demyelinating plaque of multiple sclerosis in teaching brainstem anatomy. They mention that studying neuroanatomy can be made more interesting when clinical and imaging findings show correlations within areas of the central nervous system. Here, they present a case study of a young woman with diplopia and had a demyelinating plaque in the region of the left abducens nucleus.
