Imaging
Contrast enhanced MRI of the brain.
Findings

There is an 8mm lesion in the right anterior periaqueductal grey matter of the midbrain. This is in the region of the nucleus of the left trochlear nerve (CN IV) and explains the patient’s left superior oblique palsy.
Management
Patient will undergo further cancer work up and treatment.
