Download

Henry Hun's case of lateral medullary syndrome (1897), 4 years before the pathology from Wallenberg's case was published. Diagram of the nerve tracts and nuclei destroyed by the foci of softening. The sensory and coordinating fiber tracts are purposefully drawn out of their course in order that they shall not pass across the dark nuclei and thus lead to confusion. (Source: Hun H. Analgesia, thermic anaesthesia, and ataxia, resulting from foci of softening in the medulla oblongata and cerebellum, due to occlusion of the left inferior posterior cerebellar artery. A study of the course of the sensory and co-ordinating tracts in the medulla oblongata. N Y Med J 1897;65:513-9.)
