Strokes identified in older children typically present with sudden hemiparesis, frequent association with seizures, and occasional accompaniment of hemisensory signs or visual field defects. In this case of a left cerebral peduncle infarction, initially the patient was not found with evident
BACKGROUND
Patients with Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) are always anomaly associated with vertebrobasilar dysplasia. That may present commonly as infarction of brainstem, medulla, and cerebellum. In this article, we reported a rare case of lateral medullary infarction (LMI) with similar features of
BACKGROUND
Unilateral anterior spinal artery (ASA) occlusion resulting in bilateral medullary pyramidal (BMP) infarction is a rare and devastating stroke subtype. We present two cases highlighting the diagnostic and clinical challenges of BMP infarction.
METHODS

We report a case of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) associated with asymptomatic multiple cerebral infarction on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endocrinological abnormalities and multiple congenital physical anomalies. A 40-year-old woman suddenly developed paresthesia in the right half of the
