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 medullary syndrome developed in a patient in whom glue had been inadvertently injected into the right posterior radiculomedullary artery during endovascular occlusion of a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula at T-11. MR imaging 40 days after the procedure showed signal changes and contrast enhancement in the posterior and right lateral column at T10-11. Circumscribed signal changes in the ...

A 56-year-old man presented with sudden-onset oropharyngeal dysphagia and vomiting of central etiology. Neurological evaluation showed uvula deviation to the left, paresis of the mid-right portion of the soft palate, lateralization of gaze to the right side, and dysphonia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an infarction in the left lateral medullary region, therefore the diagnosis of Wall...

Babinski-Nageotte Syndrome (BNS) is a rare variant of lateral medullary infarction, and only few cases have been reported. In this case, 52-year-old African-American gentleman presented with acute onset weakness on the left side body. On examination, there was palpable right supraclavicular lymph node. Neurological examination showed right-sided gaze-evoked nystagmus hemiparesis grade 3/5 power...

Erratum After publication of the original article [1], it came to the authors' attention that the given name of the first author was spelled wrongly, due to a misinterpreted author correction during proofing. The first author's name (Hiroto Nakano) is published correctly in this erratum. Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) associated with lateral medullary syndro...

OBJECTIVES Pathways of late blink reflexes are detected by high resolution MRI. Electronically matched stroke lesions superimposed to an anatomical atlas show the suspected course. METHODS Fifteen patients with infarction of the lower brainstem, MRI lesions and electrically elicited blink reflexes were examined. The involved structures in patients with R2 and R2c blink reflex changes were ide...
