Article Synopsis
- Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) is a type of stroke that can present with various symptoms, but typically includes Horner's syndrome, ipsilateral ataxia, and hyperalgesia, making it challenging to diagnose, especially when symptoms like dysphagia appear in isolation.
- A 53-year-old male initially presented only with dysphagia and no other stroke symptoms; despite imaging showing no issues and testing positive for Influenza A, he developed classic LMS symptoms two days later, confirmed by MRI.
- The case emphasizes that PCS can be overlooked due to vague symptoms and normal imaging, stressing the importance of considering neurogenic causes of dysphagia, even in healthy individuals without other risk factors.
