Abstract:
Cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome is characterized by specific sensory disturbance around the corner of the mouth, in the hand and in the foot on the same side. Lesions responsible for causing this syndrome vary. We report two cases of cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome due to midbrain and pontine hemorrhage, respectively. Pontine hemorrhage producing cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome has been reported in three cases, but this is the first case that midbrain hematoma exhibits this syndrome. Damage in the sensory pathway can cause cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome. Difference in the threshold may explain the specific sensory pattern in this syndrome. Cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome is caused by lacunar infarction in majority of the cases. However, it should be kept in mind that hematomas can cause cheiro-oral-pedal syndrome.
