WALLENBERGS SYNDROME WALLENBERGOV SINDROM
Wallenbergs syndrome (also called lateral medullary syndrome and posterior inferior cerebel- lar artery/PICA syndrome) is neurological condition caused by a stroke in the teritory of posterior inferi- or cerebellar artery vascularisation. In this report we presented a case of 45 years old women who was ad- mitted at our Clinic due to sudden onset of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, as well as nystagmus and un- steadiness gate. By computerized tomography (CT) of the brain it was visualized ishemic lesion in righ cer- ebellar hemisphere, but clinically also posible brainstem lesion (numbness of the rihgt side of the face, diffi - culties with swallowing) was confi rmed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain. Th is case report emphasizes the importance of correlation between clinical fi ndings and anatomic localisation of lesions vi- sualized by CT and MR imaging.
