Downward herniation can stretch branches of the basilar artery (pontine arteries), causing them to tear and bleed, known as a Duret hemorrhage. The result is usually fatal. [11] Other symptoms of this type of herniation include small, fixed pupils with [12] paralysis of upward eye movement giving the characteristic appearance of "sunset eyes".

A common cause of horizontal gaze palsies are strokes involving pontine structures, abducens nerve, or the motor cortex. [5] Horizontal gaze palsy has also been reported in cases of metastasis, [6] hemorrhage, [7] neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, [8] and multiple sclerosis.
