Abstract:
We report a case of rubral infarct involving adjacent ipsilateral thalamic structures in a 54-year-old man with hypertension and coronary heart disease. Clinical picture at onset was suggestive of Weber's syndrome leading to a Claude's syndrome with vertical gaze palsy and sleep disturbances. Single photon emission computed tomography using Hm-PaO-Tc revealed a crossed cerebellar diaschisis. This is, to our knowledge, the first case of such crossed cerebellar diaschisis in a patient with rubral infarction.
