| Lateral pontine syndrome | |
|---|---|
| Specialty | Neurology  |
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.
Damage to the following areas produces symptoms: Spinothalamic Tract --> Contralateral loss of pain and temperature Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus --> Ipsilateral loss of pain and temperature sensation in face Main Sensory Trigeminal Nucleus --> Ipsilateral loss of sensation on face Trigeminal motor nucleus --> Paralysis of ipsilateral muscles of mastication Facial Nucleus --> Paralysis of ipsilateral face (LMN lesion) Middle Cerebellar Peduncle --> Ipsilateral ataxia
