Wallenberg's syndrome is the clinical manifestation of an
infarct[?] located in the lateral
medulla[?], characterized by sensory deficits affecting the trunk and extremities on the opposite side of the infarct and sensory and motor deficits affecting the face and cranial nerves on the same side with the infarct. Other clinical symptoms and findings are
ataxia, facial pain,
vertigo,
nystagmus[?],
Horner's syndrome[?],
diplopia[?] and
dysphagia. The cause of this syndrome is usually the occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) at its origin.
