Topographic Location of Acute Pontine Infarction is Associated with the Development of Progressive Motor Deficits
Stroke 43:708-713, Oh,S.,et al, 2012
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our results suggest that lower pons lesions may contribute to progressive motor deficits in patients with isolated acute pontine infarction. Infarct topography is therefore a potential prognostic factor of PMD, because the location of the infarct can affect the extent of ischemic degeneration of the corticospinal tract.
