Abstract:
The medulla oblongata is located at the lower end of the brain stem, and it has abundant blood supply. The incidence of medial medullary infarction is low in cerebrovascular diseases. Bilateral medial medullary infarction is even rare. Bilateral medial medullary infarction is mainly characterized by paralysis. The respiratory failure can occur in severe cases. Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging can present aheartorYshaped lesion. We treated 1 patient with a typicalYshaped bilateral medial medullary infarction.
