Neurol 39:21-24, Jagiella,W.M.&Sung,J.H., 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report the detailed clinical and pathologic account of a patient with an ischemic infarction restricted to both medullary pyramids.Although prevailing neurophysiologic teachings would predict a flaccid paralysis, the patient's pure motor quadriplegia was eventually associated with spasticity.
