Describes the clinical presentation and acute stroke intervention for a rare case of evolving hemimedullary syndrome.
Hemimedullary syndrome (HS) is a rare type of medullary infarction characterized by simultaneous infarction of the lateral and medial medulla oblongata, presenting with clinical features of both Wallenberg and Dejerine syndromes. There are only a few reports of HS in the literature, and relevant information on clinical treatment and outcomes is scarce. Here, we report a patient with evolving HS who was treated by intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy.
