Abstract

We describe a rare presentation of pontine infarction in a lady who was on dual antiplatelet therapy. Her presentation includes one and a half syndrome, left facial nerve palsy and contralateral hemiataxia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed acute infarction of the dorsal pons. A diagnosis of “nine” syndrome secondary to lacunar stroke was made. She continued dual antiplatelet therapy and her symptoms resolved completely over three months.
