Abstract

Background. Lateral medullary syndrome (LMS) is a rare posterior circulation stroke caused by thrombosis or dissection of the vertebral or posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). It results in neurological deficits such as ipsilateral facial pain and temperature deficits, contralateral body pain and temperature deficits, ipsilateral ataxia, vertigo, nystagmus, slurred speech, dysphagia, and hiccups. Case reports. We report the case of a 50-year-old male with uncontrolled hypertension presented with sudden severe vertigo, ataxia, swallowing difficulties, slurred speech, and sensory deficits. He had right-sided facial pain and left-sided body pain. Conclusions. Neurological examination suggested LMS, confirmed by radiological imaging.
