Article Abstract
To examine the clinical relevance of isolated pontine hyperintense lesions (PHLs)on MRI in patients with atherosclerosis.We propose PHL as a cause of symptoms of disequilibrium in patients with atherosclerosis.Symptoms are probably elicited by dysfunction of the cortipontine fibers,the pontocerebral fibers,or the pontine nuclei.
