A Rare Case of Isolated Left Medial Midbrain Stroke ()
Abstract
Midbrain
stroke is uncommon. We are presenting an interesting case of a patient with
rare isolated left midbrain stroke. The patient had third cranial nerve palsy.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed acute stroke at the medial part
of left midbrain. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) was normal.
