Abstract
Lateral medullary syndrome(LMS) also called as Wallenberg syndrome results from a vascular event in the lateral part of medulla oblangata. LMS
is charecterised by vertigo ,diplopia , dysarthria,horners syndrome,numbness(ipsilateral face and contralateral limb) and traditionally not
associated with any limb weakness. However in Opalski syndrome[1] and Babinski Nageotte syndrome[2],lateral medullary syndrome is
asscociated with hemiplegia. Opalski syndrome[1] is an unusual manifestation of lateral medullary syndrome where ipsilateral hemiperesis
occurs along with LMS due to involvement of corticospinal tract bres after decussation in medulla.
