- Abstract
The article titled "Commentary on: Temporal lobe uncal herniation with contralateral superior cerebellar artery infarct" provides a detailed analysis of the Kernohan-Woltman notch phenomenon (KWNP), a neurological sign characterized by ipsilateral hemiparesis. The authors discuss the historical development of the pathophysiological hypotheses surrounding KWNP and the recent advancements in diagnostic techniques that have improved our understanding of this paradoxical deficit. They also highlight the importance of modern imaging techniques and neurophysiological tests in identifying specific brainstem injuries associated with KWNP. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to resolve the remaining enigmas of this pathophysiological dilemma.
