  • Title: Brachial monoparesis as an isolated manifestation of a paramedian pontine ischemic lesion.
    Author: Song IU, Kim JS, Kim YI, Lee KS.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 2007 May; 109(4):376-8. PubMed ID: 17306452.
    Abstract:
    Pure monoparesis is a rare condition characterized by weakness limited to one limb without any other neurologic deficits. We herein report an extremely infrequent case of pure motor monoparesis not due to cortical infarctions but due to a paramedian pontine infarction. A 41-year-old woman was admitted with a sudden onset of weakness in her right upper extremity. On neurological examination, there were no abnormalities except for monoparesis (motor grade IV/V) in the right upper extremity. A magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed an acute small ischemic lesion in the left paramedian pontine area.
