Babinski-Nageotte Syndrome (BNS) is one of the brainstem syndromes characterized by muscle weakness in the opposite half of the body with classic Wallenberg findings. According to our literature survey, only a few cases have been reported and none of them was in the postpartum period. We report a case of a typical BNS in a postpartum woman with an ischemic lesion in the medulla oblongata shown on magnetic resonance imaging.

Vertebrobasilar ischaemia happens for a myriad of reasons. Among the rarest is the existence of a foramen arcuale (FA). This condition results from the ossification of the lateral edge of the posterior atlantooccipital membrane, closing, completely or partially, the top of this groove, turning it into a foramen or a channel.

Lateral medullary syndrome is a common brainstem stroke associated with a classical triad of Horner's Syndrome, ipsilateral ataxia and hypalgesia and thermoanasthesia of ipsilateral face. We report a case of a 49-year-old diabetic, non-hypertensive, postmenopausal female who presented with symptoms involving the left dorsal medulla along with right sided hemiparesis and left UMN-type facial palsy. Contralateral hemiparesis was explained by caudal extension of infarct involving the pyramids before decussation at the medulla, known as Babinski-Nageotte Syndrome.

Numerous crossed brain stem syndromes have been described, especially in the nineteenth century. While these syndromes are passed on in neurological textbooks, their relevance in clinical neurology remains to be elucidated. To investigate the prevalence of classical crossed brain stem syndromes in clinical practice, we prospectively recruited 308 consecutive patients with signs and symptoms indicative of acute brain stem infarction.
