Abstract
- Isolated cranial nerve palsy without long tract signs such as contralateral hemiparesis, hemihypoesthesia and ataxia is often reported as brainstem infarction. But most of them are accompanied by oculomotor or abducens nerve palsy. Isolated cranial nerve palsy involving the facial nerve and vestibulocochlear nerve is very rare in brainstem infarction. We report, with a review of literature, a case of right caudal pontine infarct on the dorsolateral portion of the middle cerebellar peduncle with isolated 7th and 8th cranial nerve palsies.
