| Summary: | Benedikt syndrome is a rare midbrain syndrome which is associated with the damage of the median mesencephalic tegmentum. The most common etiology of this syndrome is ischemic stroke. The occlusion of the posterior cerebral artery or the paramedian branches of the basilar artery results with the ischemia of this midbrain territory. Ipsilateral occulomotor cranial nerve palsy, contralateral hemiparesis, hemihypoesthesia, hemiataxia and korea or tremor are the clinical symptoms of this syndrome. In this article, we reported a case of Benedikt syndrome with an etiologic cause of cardioembolic stroke, who was diagnosed by the neurological examination and neuroradiological findings. |
