Transient Vestibulopathy in Wallenberg’s Syndrome: Pathologic Analysis
OBJECTIVE To report an unusual lateral medullary stroke (LMS) associated with transient unidirectional horizontal, nystagmus, and decreased horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (h-VOR) gain that mimicked a peripheral vestibulopathy. MRI suggested involvement of caudal medial vestibular nucleus (MVN); however, the rapid resolution of the nystagmus and improved h-VOR gain favored transient ischemia...
متن کاملDistinct Syndrome of Isolated Central Vestibulopathy
Acute isolated vertigo has mostly been ascribed to inflammatory disorders, involving the peripheral vestibular labyrinth. Because the dorsal medulla contains the structures such as the vestibular nuclei (VN), nucleus prepositus hypoglossi (NPH), and inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) that are involved in conveying and processing the vestibular and ocular motor signals, lesions involving this ar...

Acute vestibulopathy is characterized by the acute or subacute onset of vertigo, dizziness or imbalance with or without ocular motor, sensory, postural or autonomic symptoms and signs, and can last for seconds to up to several days. Acute vestibular lesions may result from a hypofunction or from pathological excitation of various peripheral or central vestibular structures (labyrinth, vestibula...

متن کاملPathologic Reappraisal of Wallenberg Syndrome: A Pathologic Distribution Study and Analysis of Literature
BACKGROUND Wallenberg syndrome was first reported by Adolf Wallenberg as arising due to the obstruction of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), which caused an infarct in the lateral medulla oblongata (MO). METHOD This study was carried out on brain tissue from 2 patients with typical Wallenberg syndrome and 10 autopsy cases without central nervous system disturbances. RESULTS P...
