Cerebellar stroke syndrome is a condition in which the circulation to the cerebellum is impaired due to a lesion of the superior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. [1] Cardinal signs include vertigo, headache, vomiting, and ataxia. [2]
Lateral medullary syndrome is the most common form of posterior ischemic stroke syndrome. It is estimated that there are around 600,000 new cases of this syndrome in the United States alone. [5] [outdated statistic] Those at the overall highest risk for lateral medullary syndrome are men at an average age of 55.06.
Cerebellar strokes, like the one New Mexico Sen. Ben Ray Luján suffered, are comparatively rare but a neurosurgeon says the odds for recovery are good. Cerebellar strokes, like the one New Mexico ...
The posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) is the largest branch of the vertebral artery. It is one of the three main arteries that supply blood to the cerebellum, a part of the brain. Blockage of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery can result in a type of stroke called lateral medullary syndrome.
Cerebellar signs usually involve balance and coordination, and may include: [citation needed] cerebellar ataxia a gait with a broad base; the patient falters to the side of the lesion ( ataxia ) inability to coordinate fine motor activities ( intention tremor ), e.g. "past-pointing" (pointing beyond the finger in the finger-nose test)
Posterior circulation infarct (POCI) is a type of cerebral infarction affecting the posterior circulation supplying one side of the brain.. Posterior circulation stroke syndrome (POCS) refers to the symptoms of a patient who clinically appears to have had a posterior circulation infarct, but who has not yet had any diagnostic imaging (e.g. CT Scan) to confirm the diagnosis.
Lateral pontine syndrome, also known as Marie-Foix syndrome or Marie-Foix-Alajouanine syndrome [1] is one of the brainstem stroke syndromes of the lateral aspect of the pons. A lateral pontine syndrome is a lesion which is similar to the lateral medullary syndrome , but because it occurs in the pons , it also involves the cranial nerve nuclei ...
Vertigo is a relatively common symptom that can result from ischemia to the cerebellum, medulla or (rarely) the internal auditory artery which supplies the vestibular system of the inner ear. While vertigo is a common feature of VBI or posterior circulation stroke, VBI only rarely presents with vertigo alone (without other neurological signs). [5]
