Description
Zaka Ahmed, Mark Haditaghi, and Marilou Ching present a case of Weber syndrome, a rare brainstem stroke. Their 2026 abstract deals with a stroke in the midbrain alone. The syndrome pairs weakness on one side of the body with a palsy of the third nerve on the other side. Such single midbrain strokes are uncommon.
The patient was a woman aged sixty three with diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. She had face droop, arm weakness, and slurred speech. One eyelid drooped and one eye could not move inward. First scans were clear. A later MRI showed a tiny stroke nearby in the pons. The authors stress that bedside signs can locate the harm before scans do.
