    Abstract:
    A 50-year-old man complained of headache around his left orbit, left frontal pain and paresthesia associated with left incomplete Horner syndrome. MRI demonstrated a mass at the level of medulla oblongata. Left vertebral angiogram revealed an aneurysm of left vertebral artery. Following the removal of the aneurysm, these Raeder's syndrome-like symptoms improved. Therefore, they were probably caused by a compression of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve and the central sympathetic tract by the aneurysm. This is the first report of Reader's syndrome-like symptoms caused by vertebral artery aneurysm, thus indicating that MRI and cerebral angiogram are necessary for differential diagnosis of this syndrome.
