ABSTRACT

Wallenberg’s syndrome or lateral medullary infarction is the most common vascular syndrome of the posterior circulation, affects the posterior and inferior cerebellar artery and vertebral artery. Clinical signs of spinal cord injury posterolateral territory are easily recognized; the gold standard diagnosis is cerebral angiography, although it can be diagnosed by noninvasive techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging and transcranial Doppler. We present the clinic, anatomic and imaging correlation of Wallenberg’s syndrome, as well as a brief description of this entity.
