    Author: Wakita M, Matsuoka H, Hamada R, Kasuya J, Osame M.
    Journal: Neurol Sci; 2003 Dec; 24(5):357-60. PubMed ID: 14716533.
    Abstract:
    A 54-year-old man developed left hemiparesis and tactile and deep sensory disturbance following onset of rightside cervical pain. These symptoms resulted from an isolated infarct in the right medial area of the upper medulla oblongata and intracranial vertebral artery (VA) dissection. Atherosclerotic disease of the VA is the most common cause of medial medullary infarction. In past reports of isolated medial medullary infarction, only a few cases involved VA dissection.
