摘要：

A syndrome of dorsal midbrain dysfunction in association with a central nervous system anaerobic diphtheroid infection is described. Two cases of infection with Propionibacterium acnes manifested as shunt malfunctions with a clinical dorsal midbrain syndrome. Magnetic resonance images showed increased signal in the midbrain tectum which has decreased slowly over time. The evidence suggesting that this syndrome represents bacterial midbrain encephalitis is discussed.
