Tetraplegia Following Bilateral Medial Medullary Infarction
Bilateral medial medullary infarction is rare. We report a 54-year-old man who presented with a 3-day history of dysarthria and progressive weakness in all four limbs. He suffered from respiratory failure 10 days later. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed acute infarction of the bilateral medial medulla, characterized by a typical heart-shaped sign. Intravenous heparin was given for his cer...
متن کاملBilateral medial medullary infarction with oculomotor disorders.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We describe the first case of bilateral medial medullary infarction demonstrated by magnetic resonance imaging. We discuss the relation between this lesion and the oculomotor signs that were observed clinically. CASE DESCRIPTION A 71-year-old man initially presented with pure motor hemiparesis, which progressed to complete quadriplegia. He also developed nearly complete...
متن کاملBilateral medial medullary infarction: a case report.
We present the report of a young male patient who was diagnosed with acute bilateral medial medullary infarction (MMI) on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI). Corroboration with the apparent diffusion co-efficient (ADC) map enabled timely and accurate diagnosis of the rare stroke syndrome. On follow up 9 months after the diagnosis and subsequent treatment, the patient showed ...
متن کاملBilateral medial medullary infarction: a systematic review.
Bilateral infarction of the medial medulla (MMI) is rare. Limited information is available on clinical characteristics, etiology, and prognosis. High-resolution neuroimaging has a major role in elucidating the underlying stroke mechanism. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the clinical presentations, stroke mechanisms, and outcomes in patients with bilateral MMI. We performed a sy...
متن کاملPure Motor Monoparesis in the Leg due to a Lateral Medullary Infarction
A 76-year-old man with essential hypertension abruptly presented with slight left-sided leg weakness, despite normal strength in the other extremities. Left-sided Babinski's reflex was detected. There were no other neurologic abnormalities. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a small infarction in the lower lateral medulla oblongata on the left side. Cranial magnetic resonance angio...
