Benedikt syndrome is a rare neurological disorder of the midbrain. Herein, we present a case of Benedikt syndrome, who presented with left-sided body weakness, right oculomotor nerve palsy, cerebellar ataxia, and Holmes tremor in the left upper limb following midbrain infarction. She was treated with aspirin, clopidogrel, and amiodarone.

Lesion Topography and Clinical Features Associated With Respiratory Failure in Patients With Medullary Infarction.
Brain Behav
January 2025

Background: Respirator failure (RF) is a severe malignant complication in both lateral medullary infarction (LMI) and medial medullary infarction (MMI) patients. However, the differences in clinical and radiological manifestations associated with RF between patients with LMI and MMI have not been fully elucidated.
Methods: A total of 435 consecutive patients with MI within 7 days of onset in our institute were retrospectively enrolled from January 2017 to January 2024.

Background And Purpose: The dorsolateral portion of the caudal pons contains the vestibular nucleus (VN) and inferior cerebellar peduncle (ICP) that play important roles in conveying and processing vestibular and ocular motor signals. This study aimed to characterize ocular motor abnormalities along with their anatomical correlations in dorsolateral pons (DLP) lesions.
Methods: We analyzed clinical features, and results of neuro-otological evaluations and neuroimaging of 18 patients with unilateral DLP lesions (17 with DLP infarction and 1 with cavernous malformation) from among 506 patients with pontine infarction in a stroke registry.
Assessment of corticospinal tract damage and cytokines response in early and late stages of acute unilateral brainstem infarction patients.

Background: Acute brainstem infarction is associated with high morbidity and mortality, the integrity of corticospinal tract (CST) detected via diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can assist in predicting the motor recovery of the patients. In addition to the damage caused by ischemia and reperfusion, sterile inflammation also contributes to the brain injury after stroke. However, the changes in CST integrity detected by DTI in acute brainstem infarction have yet to be fully elucidated, and it is still unclear whether sterile inflammation can cause damage to the CST.

To evaluate the alterations in brain dynamics in patients suffering from brainstem or cerebellar infarctions and their potential associations with cognitive function. In this study, 37 patients were recruited who had acute cerebellar infarction (CI), 32 patients who had acute brainstem infarction (BsI), and 40 healthy controls (HC). Every participant had their resting-state electroencephalogram (EEG) data captured, and the EEG microstates were analyzed.

We present the case of a 57-year-old man with vertical diplopia who was diagnosed with acquired left eye supranuclear double depressor palsy after ischemic stroke, with small infarcts at the bilateral medial posterior thalami, left midbrain, and left occipital lobe. Given the different innervation of the two depressors, intact vestibulo-ocular reflex, and the healthy inferior rectus muscle morphology observed intraoperatively, the lesion likely involved the supranuclear vertical gaze center or its pathway. His strabismus was treated successfully with recession and resection of vertical rectus muscles, resulting in no significant deviation in either the vertical or horizontal directions in primary gaze at 6 months' follow-up.
