Abstract

The two distinct types of axonal degeneration that occur after neuronal injury include Wallerian degeneration (WD) and transneuronal degeneration. The most commonly recognizable cause of secondary degeneration is cerebral infarction, but may also include a variety of conditions including hemorrhage, trauma, necrosis, and focal demyelination. Herein, we present a rare case of WD of the cerebellar peduncles accompanied by unilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration following pontine hemorrhage.

뉴런의 손상 후에는 월러변성과 신경원통과 변성이라는 두 가지 유형의 축삭변성이 발생한다. 이차 변성의 가장 흔한 원인은 뇌경색이지만 출혈, 외상, 괴사, 국소적 탈수초 등에 의해서 이차 변성이 나타날 수 있다. 우리는 뇌교출혈 후에 양측 소뇌다리의 월러변성과 동반된 편측 비후성올리브핵변성이 발생한 드문 증례를 보고하고자 한다.
