Case Discussion
MRI appearances in keeping with an acute left hemi pontine infarct (Foville syndrome). This patient depicts most of the focal neurological deficits of Foville syndrome.
This occurs due to occlusion of the paramedian branches of the basilar artery so is classified as a brainstem stroke.
