Horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) is an uncommon congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder that affects both eye movement and spinal curvature, marked by limited ability to move eyes in horizontal gaze, worsening curvature of spine and brainstem malformations [1]. Only a few cases have been reported from India [2,3]. It is mainly described in consanguineous families. It is linked to a specific gene mutation in the ROBO3 gene located on the 11q23-q25 region of chromosome 11 [4]. It has characteristic clinical and radiological features. Here we present a case of an adolescent male patient with characteristic features of HGPPS.
