WALLENBERG'S SYNDROME

Abstract

A consecutive series of 10 typical and 4 partial cases of Wallenberg's syndrome is presented. The most prominent symptoms in these patients were found to be imbalance and various complex visual disturbances showing a rather distinct pattern characterized by tilt of the surroundings, oblique diplopia, difficulties of fixation and visual blurring. LateropuIsion was in all cases more or less clearly directed towards the side of the infarction. Imbalance, lateropulsion and visual disturbances as a rule improved rapidly but persisting disability was due to these features.
