Medial inferior pontine syndrome is a condition associated with a contralateral hemiplegia.
[1] Although medial pontine syndrome has many similarities to medial medullary syndrome, because it is located higher up the brainstem in the pons, it affects a different set of cranial nuclei.
[citation needed] Depending upon the size of the infarct, it can also involve the facial nerve.
Medial pontine syndrome results from occlusion of paramedian branches of the basilar artery.
