Bilateral medial medullary infarction: A case report

Abstract

We present the report of a young male patient who was diagnosed with acute bilateral medial medullary infarction (MMI) on Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DW-MRI). Corroboration with the Apparent Diffusion Co-efficient (ADC) map enabled timely and accurate diagnosis of the rare stroke syndrome. On follow up 9 months after the diagnosis and subsequent treatment, the patient showed significant improvement on all fronts.
