Medial pontine syndrome

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Medial pontine syndrome Classification and external resources
ICD-10	G46.3

Medial pontine syndrome is a condition associated with a contralateral hemiplegia.

Although it has many similarities to medial medullary syndrome, because it is located higher up the brainstem in the pons, it also involves the facial nerve.
