Lateral Medullary Syndrome (LMS) is a well-documented vascular syndrome of the posterior circulation territory. This syndrome is easily localised because of characteristic presentation, unique territory of blood supply and very small area of involvement. We present a case of Wallenberg's syndrome which did not have all the classical components of the syndrome, like Horner's syndrome. Opalski syndrome is a rare variant of Wallenberg syndrome, where lateral medullary syndrome is associated with ipsilateral hemiparesis. This case report highlights how differential involvement of the lateral part of medulla can result in varied presentation.
延髓外侧综合征(LMS)是后循环区域一种有充分文献记载的血管综合征。由于其特征性表现、独特的供血区域和非常小的受累面积,该综合征易于定位。我们报告一例没有该综合征所有典型表现(如霍纳综合征)的延髓外侧综合征病例。奥帕尔斯基综合征是延髓外侧综合征的一种罕见变异型,其特征为延髓外侧综合征合并同侧偏瘫。本病例报告强调了延髓外侧部分的不同受累情况如何导致不同的临床表现。
