BACKGROUND: Various @entity1109 have been reported in @entity1 with @entity5487 , also known as @entity5487 . The typical @entity1109 experienced by @entity1 with this condition are ipsilateral facial and contralateral trunk and limb thermal @entity1183 and hypoalgesia. Tactile (light touch) sensation is not generally diminished. Here we report the case of a 35-year-old @entity1 with lateral medullary infarction who had atypical @entity1109 . METHODS: We examined the results from the neurological examination of the @entity1 as well as findings from computed tomography of the head and magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Magnetic resonance imaging showed left lateral medullary infarction caused by left posterior @entity5487 . Neurological examination revealed both tactile and thermal/ @entity158 @entity1183 on the left side of the @entity1 's face, and thermal/ @entity158 @entity1183 on his right upper and lower limbs. CONCLUSION: There are two types of tactile sensation: epicritic and protopathic. @entity1109 is usually thought to be associated with @entity1109 , which travels through principal sensory nuclei of the trigeminal nerve. The protopathic pathway travels down through the spinal tract via the trigeminal nerve and is not considered a primary pathway. However, in this case the @entity1109 pathway might be involved, and it caused facial @entity1183 . Because most of previous case reports and literature reviews focused only on thermal/ @entity158 @entity1183 , we believe that this case provides critical information on the brainstem neuroanatomy, especially for the @entity1109 pathway in @entity1 with @entity64 .
