Abstract

With a low incidence and a non-specific clinical manifestation, medial medullary infarction (MMI) can often be misdiagnosed or missed diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) played a major role in diagnosing the MMI. This article reviews the epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical and imaging manifestations, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and prognosis of MMI. Key words: Stroke; Brain Ischemia; Brain Stem Infarctions; Medulla Oblongata; Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Diagnosis, Differential; Risk Factors
