Stroke 26:900-902, Duncan,G.W.&Weindling,S.M., 1995

Article Abstract
Brain infarction secondary to stenosis of the posterior cerebral artery is uncommon.We report a patient with midbrain infarction and symptoms of both Benedikt's and pupil-sparing oculomotor palsy syndromes secondary to posterior cerebral artery stenosis.A 51-year-old woman developed diplopia, left ptosis,and right hemiataxia and hyperactive tendon reflexes.Pupils were equal and reactive.Radiological examination revealed stenosis of the posterior cerebral artery and a left-sided midbrain infarct.Stenosis of the posterior cerebral artery may cause only midbrain infarction and may be responsible for Benedikt's and pupil-sparing oculomotor palsy syndromes.
