Lateral pontine syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lateral pontine syndrome Classification and external resources
ICD-10	G46.3

A lateral pontine syndrome is a lesion which is similar to the Lateral medullary syndrome, but because it occurs in the pons, it also involves the cranial nerve nuclei of the pons.

It can be caused by an interruption to the blood supply of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
