[Wallenberg's syndrome with sleep-induced dyspnea--a case study]
No to Shinkei = Brain and Nerve
|November 1, 1976
Summary
A 49-year-old female developed Wallenberg's syndrome after surgical clipping of a posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm. Postoperative complications included sleep-induced dyspnea and autonomic dysfunction, highlighting the need for recognizing brain stem lesion symptoms.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Vascular Neurology
Background:
- Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) can result from ruptured aneurysms, posing significant neurological risks.
- Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) aneurysms are rare but can lead to severe neurological deficits.
- Wallenberg's syndrome, a brainstem stroke, can occur secondary to vascular events or interventions.
