Delayed central respiratory failure can occur after Wallenberg's syndrome, a rare complication of lateral medullary infarction. This life-threatening condition requires prompt recognition and management.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Wallenberg's syndrome, characterized by ataxia, dysphagia, and Horner's syndrome, results from lateral medullary infarction.
  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is crucial for diagnosing medullary infarction and associated lesions.

Observation:

  • A 68-year-old man with Wallenberg's syndrome developed delayed central respiratory failure 31 days post-discharge.
  • Initial MR imaging showed a right lateral medullary infarction and lacunae; no new lesions were detected during the respiratory event.

Findings:

  • While medullary infarction can cause respiratory failure, central respiratory dysfunction is uncommon in Wallenberg's syndrome.
  • The delayed onset of central respiratory failure in this case is highly unusual and potentially life-threatening.

Implications:

  • Delayed central respiratory failure is an under-recognized complication of Wallenberg's syndrome.
  • This case highlights the need for vigilance regarding respiratory complications following lateral medullary infarction.
  • Prompt recognition and supportive care, including ventilation, are critical for managing this rare but severe complication.
