Wallenberg's syndrome which is also known as Lateral medullary syndrome and posterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome is a very rare cause of cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This has variability of presentation which cause the under diagnose for Wallenberg Syndrome. Generally ischemic CVA and especially medullary infarction occurs in the old patients but here we report two cases of Wallenberg syndrome in young adults, first is 35 years male and second is 38 years female. Birat Journal of Health SciencesVol.2/No.3/Issue 4/Sep- Dec 2017, Page: 306-308

The Lateral medullary syndrome is not a very common stroke. Sometimes it is under diagnosed. Mr. Ibrahim Mollah, 50 years old male person, non diabetic, non hypertensive but smoker presented with the history of sudden onset of dysphagia, dysarthria and ataxia of the gait. He is clinically and radiologically diagnosed as a case of Lateral medullary syndrome (Ischaemic stroke). With treatment this patient improved significantly. It is commonly caused by occlusion of the cranial segment of the vertebral artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery. The occlusion may be due to thrombosis or embolism. The emboli are coming from the heart or the great vessels. We can diagnose Lateral medullary syndrome with expert clinical eye and CT/MRI of the brain. It should be managed with appropriate treatment and physiotherapy. DOI: 10.3329/fmcj.v5i1.6813Faridpur Med. Coll. J. 2010;5(1):35-36

We evaluated the outcomes of endovascular or surgical treatment of ruptured vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs), and investigated the relations between treatment complications and the development and location of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). We treated 14 patients (12 men, two women; mean age, 56.2 years) with ruptured VADAs between March 1999 and June 2012 at our hospital. Six and eight patients had Hunt and Hess grades 1–3 and 4–5, respectively. Twelve patients underwent internal endovascular trapping, one underwent proximal endovascular occlusion alone, and one underwent proximal endovascular occlusion in the acute stage and occipital artery (OA)-PICA anastomosis and surgical trapping in the chronic stage. The types of VADA based on their location relative to the ipsilateral PICA were distal, PICA-involved, and non-PICA in nine, two, and three patients, respectively. The types of PICA based on their development and location were bilateral anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA)-PICA, ipsilateral AICA-PICA, extradural, and intradural type in one, two, two, and nine patients, respectively. Two patients with high anatomical risk developed medullary infarction, but their midterm outcomes were better than in previous reports. The modified Rankin scale indicated grades 0–2, 3–5, and 6 in eight, three, and three patients, respectively. A good outcome is often obtained in the treatment of ruptured VADA using internal endovascular trapping, except in the PICA-involved type, even with high-grade subarachnoid hemorrhage. Treatment of the PICA-involved type is controversial. The anatomical location and development of PICA may be predicted by complications with postoperative medullary infarction.
