Abstract:
A 68-year-old woman had an abrupt onset of severe headache, nausea, vertigo, difficulty in standing and dysarthria. A CT scan of the brain disclosed bilateral symmetrical round infarctions involving the middle cerebellar peduncles. She exhibited marked limb ataxia, gait ataxia, dysarthria and transient gaze nystagmus. Occlusion of the right vertebral artery associated with a stenosis of the basilar artery just proximal to the origin of the anterior inferior cerebellar arteries shown in angiograms were thought to be the cause.
