  2. Lateral medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_medullary_syndrome

    Lateral medullary syndrome is a neurological disorder causing a range of symptoms due to ischemia in the lateral part of the medulla oblongata in the brainstem. The ischemia is a result of a blockage most commonly in the vertebral artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery . [ 1 ]

  3. Babinski–Nageotte syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babinski–Nageotte_syndrome

    Right Horner's syndrome, right facial paresis, dysphagia, and paralysis of the right soft palate and ride side of the tongue were present. Cranial MRI showed a right hemi medullary infarct, and magnetic resonance angiography showered severe stenosis of the right vertebral artery.

  4. Posterior inferior cerebellar artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_inferior...

    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 .

  5. Medial medullary syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_medullary_syndrome

    Medial medullary syndrome, also known as inferior alternating syndrome, hypoglossal alternating hemiplegia, lower alternating hemiplegia, [1] or Dejerine syndrome, [2] is a type of alternating hemiplegia characterized by a set of clinical features resulting from occlusion of the anterior spinal artery.

  6. Cerebral infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_infarction

    Cerebral infarction, also known as an ischemic stroke, is the pathologic process that results in an area of necrotic tissue in the brain (cerebral infarct). [1] In mid to high income countries, a stroke is the main reason for disability among people and the 2nd cause of death. [ 2 ]

  7. Weber's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weber's_syndrome

    Weber's syndrome, also known as midbrain stroke syndrome or superior alternating hemiplegia, is a form of stroke that affects the medial portion of the midbrain. It involves oculomotor fascicles in the interpeduncular cisterns and cerebral peduncle so it characterizes the presence of an ipsilateral lower motor neuron type oculomotor nerve palsy and contralateral hemiparesis or hemiplegia.

  8. Medullary pyramids (brainstem) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medullary_pyramids_(brainstem)

    Hyperextension of the neck can pull and tear the pyramids, leading to a variety of symptoms such as weakness in all four limbs, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty speaking. A bilateral infarction in the pyramids of the medulla can result in motor quadriplegia. This is rare, however, as there have only been four cases of this reported.

  9. Intracerebral hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracerebral_hemorrhage

    Brain herniation is associated with hyperventilation, extensor rigidity, pupillary asymmetry, pyramidal signs, coma and death. [10] Hemorrhage into the basal ganglia or thalamus causes contralateral hemiplegia due to damage to the internal capsule. [7] Other possible symptoms include gaze palsies or hemisensory loss. [7]
