We report a patient with a right dorsolateral pontine syndrome including right masticatory weakness without facial hypesthesia. Brain computed tomography showed a right dorsolateral pontine hemorrhage. Blink reflex study indicated preservation of spinal tracts and sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve. Right masseter electromyography revealed denervation. This patient provides a good correlation between clinical, radiological and electrophysiological findings and nuclear organisation of the trigeminal nerve.

D011149 Pons The front part of the hindbrain (RHOMBENCEPHALON) that lies between the MEDULLA and the midbrain (MESENCEPHALON) ventral to the cerebellum. It is composed of two parts, the dorsal and the ventral. The pons serves as a relay station for neural pathways between the CEREBELLUM to the CEREBRUM.

D005158 Facial Paralysis Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
