Millard-Gubler syndrome was first described by two French physicians in 1858, Auguste Louis Jules Millard and Adolphe-Marie Gubler.​

♦️The most common structures involved in Millard-Gubler syndrome include:

βœ” Abducens nerve fibers (cranial nerve VI)
βœ” Facial nerve fibers (cranial nerve VII)
βœ” Pyramidal tract fibers

♦️ There are three vascular territories in the pons:

βœͺ (1) Anteromedial: supplied by pontine perforating arteries from the basilar artery

βœͺ (2) Anterolateral: supplied by the anterior inferior cerebellar artery

βœͺ (3) Lateral: supplied by lateral pontine perforators from the basilar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery, or superior cerebellar artery

Miller-Gruber syndrome therefore arises from ischemic related to the basilar artery distribution.

♦️Clinical Manifestations:

β€Œβ—‘ Ipsilateral sixth nerve palsy and weakness on abduction of the eye.​

β—‘ Ipsilateral facial palsy, leading to flaccid paralysis of the facial muscles.​

β—‘ Contralateral hemiplegia or hemiparesis of the upper and/or lower extremities.​

β—‘ Cerebellar ataxia may be present if damage extends to the middle cerebellar peduncles due to their proximity to cranial nerve VII.​
