Hemimedullary infarction, which presents Babinski-Nageotte syndrome, has been mainly reported to result from atherosclerotic occlusion of the vertebral artery. A 54-year-old housewife with right nuchal pain developed Wallenberg's syndrome followed by left hemiparesis. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging documented fresh infarcts in the right hemimedulla and right dorsal cerebellum. Angiography revealed dissection of the right vertebral artery as a cause of the infarcts. Anterograde progression of the dissection might cause stepwise evolution of her neurological symptoms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010291 Paresis A general term referring to a mild to moderate degree of muscular weakness, occasionally used as a synonym for PARALYSIS (severe or complete loss of motor function). In the older literature, paresis often referred specifically to paretic neurosyphilis (see NEUROSYPHILIS). "General paresis" and "general paralysis" may still carry that connotation. Bilateral lower extremity paresis is referred to as PARAPARESIS.

D014854 Lateral Medullary Syndrome INFARCTION of the dorsolateral aspect of MEDULLA OBLONGATA in the BRAIN STEM. It is caused by occlusion of the VERTEBRAL ARTERY and/or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. Clinical manifestations vary with the size of infarction, but may include loss of pain and temperature sensation in the ipsilateral face and contralateral body below the chin; ipsilateral HORNER SYNDROME; ipsilateral ATAXIA; DYSARTHRIA; VERTIGO; nausea, hiccup; dysphagia; and VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS.

D020217 Vertebral Artery Dissection Splitting of the vessel wall in the VERTEBRAL ARTERY. Interstitial hemorrhage into the media of the vessel wall can lead to occlusion of the vertebral artery, aneurysm formation, or THROMBOEMBOLISM. Vertebral artery dissection is often associated with TRAUMA and injuries to the head-neck region but can occur spontaneously.
