- Abstract
The article discusses the case of an 80-year-old patient who was diagnosed with a caudal mesencephalic infarct presenting only with tetra-ataxia and tremor. The study found that small ischemic damage in the caudal midbrain causes only tetra-ataxia and tremor without the classical mesencephalic syndrome and that the co-occurrence of tetra-ataxia and skeletal tremor without oculomotor disorders due to mesencephalic stroke can occur.
