RUBRAL INFARCT AND CROSSED CEREBELLAR DIASCHISIS

We report a case of rubral infarct involving adjacent ipsilateral thal amic structures in a 54-year-old man with hypertension and coronary he art disease. Clinical picture at onset was suggestive of Weber's syndr ome leading to a Claude's syndrome with vertical gaze palsy and sleep disturbances. Single photon emission computed tomography using Hm-PaO- Tc revealed a crossed cerebellar diaschisis. This is, to our knowledge , the first case of such crossed cerebellar diaschisis in a patient wi th rubral infarction.
