Raymond Céstan syndrome
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Raymond Céstan syndrome, also known as Céstan–Chenais syndrome or upper dorsal pontine syndrome, is caused by blockage of the long circumferential branches of the basilar artery.[1] It was described by Étienne Jacques Marie Raymond Céstan and Louis Jean Chenais.[2] Along with other related syndromes such as Millard-Gubler syndrome, Foville's syndrome, and Weber's syndrome, the description was instrumental in establishing important principles in brain-stem localization.[3]
Clinical features
- Ipsilateral ataxia and coarse intention tremor (damage to superior and middle cerebellar peduncle)
- Ipsilateral paralysis of muscles of mastication and sensory loss in face (damage to sensory and motor nuclei and tracts of CN V)
- Contralateral loss of sensory modalities in the body (damage to spinothalamic tract and medial lemniscus)
- Contralateral hemiparesis of face and body (damage to corticospinal tract) may occur with ventral extension of lesion
- Horizontal gaze palsy may occur (as in lower dorsal pontine syndrome)
