Pure sensory stroke due to midbrain haemorrhage limited to the spinothalamic pathway

P Azouvi et al. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry. 1989 Dec.

Abstract

A 62 year old man suddenly presented with a pure left sensory deficit involving only pain and temperature sensations. CT scan and MRI showed a small haemorrhage in the dorsolateral part of the right midbrain. This suggested a lesion limited to the right dorsal spinothalamic tract.
