Isolated medial medullary infarction due to vertebral artery dissection
2003
A 54-year-old man developed left hemiparesis and tactile
and deep sensory disturbance following onset of rightside
cervical pain. These symptoms resulted from an isolated infarct
in the right medial area of the upper medulla oblongata and
intracranial vertebral artery (VA) dissection. Atherosclerotic
disease of the VA is the most common cause of medial medullary
infarction. In past reports of isolated medial medullary
infarction, only a few cases involved VA dissection.
