A Case of Peripheral Facial Palsy in Ponto-medullary Junction Area Infarction

  • 발행 : 2006.12.30

초록

A 69 year-old woman was admitted with sudden left facial weakness. She had no other neurologic deficit, except for left peripheral type facial palsy. She had a presumptive diagnosis of Bell's palsy. The blink test was indicative of left facial neuropathy due to left medullary lesion. Diffusion weighted (DWI) brain MRI demonstrated high signal signal lesion in left dorsolateral ponto-medullary junction. Apperant diffusion coefficient (ADC) brain MRI showed low signal lesion in the same area. We present an unusual case of ipsilateral peripheral facial palsy in dosolateral ponto-medullary infarction without other neurologic deficits.
