Purpose: This case discusses the neurological impact of Wallenberg syndrome on the visual-vestibular system and provides a clinical pathologic correlation between neuro-anatomic involvements with the manifesting symptoms. Case Report: A 50-year-old male presented for consultation following a left lateral medullary infarct occlusion of the left vertebral artery (Wallenberg syndrome) with complaints of intermittent binocular diplopia, vertigo, and oscillopsia. Assessment revealed an intermittent central nystagmus, a right skew deviation, and a left Horner’s syndrome. Video recordings of the nystagmus and ocular motor responses were documented. Conclusion: Wallenberg syndrome has very defined characteristics which can be used clinically to make a definitive diagnosis.It is important for eye care professionals to understand the neuro-anatomic involvements associated with this condition and make the clinical correlation to aid in the treatment and management of these patients.

Wallenberg Syndrome

We report an 87-year-old woman with right dorsolateral medullary hemorrhage. She did not show all of the usual symptoms of Wallenberg syndrome and her main symptom was severe dysphagia. Dorsolateral medullary hemorrhage may be overlooked, because it is rare and does not exhibit the typical Wallenberg syndrome presentation usually seen in patients with infarction at the dorsolateral medulla.

AbstractThe elaboration is rooted in the humanities, it constitutes a so-called case study and it suits the discussion on the significance of psychosocial, biographic and axiological factors in the study of people with disabilities. The Diary by Aleksander Wat, a poet and intellectualist constitutes an extraordinary and the only such mature testimony of suffering written in Polish, a linguistic record of pain in Wallenberg syndrome. Raising awareness and the holistic approach to disability is particularly important if rehabilitation is almost impossible. Apart from physical pain, mental pain is equally significant, and a physiotherapist with their compassion and understanding can significantly alleviate suffering of the patient and their loved ones. In the elaboration significance of the humanistic coefficient is highlighted, the application of which in the rehabilitation interaction protects both sides of the contact from the asymmetry of power relations.

A 30-year-old, right-handed female presented 2 weeks postpartum with acute-onset severe headache, vertigo, and vomiting. Initial neurologic examination illustrated lingual dysarthria, horizontal nystagmus, right dysmetria on finger-to-nose testing, and weakness of the extremities. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a large, left lateral medullary infarction (Wallenberg syndrome) with cephalad extension into the ipsilateral pons as well as involvement of the left middle cerebellar peduncle. The patient was discharged 3 weeks later to an inpatient rehabilitation facility with gradual improvement of her symptoms.
