Abstract
in English, Spanish

Midbrain strokes are rare and are usually accompanied by other concomitant injuries. The simultaneous presence of ipsi and contralateral signs makes it necessary to think of a brainstem syndrome due to involvement of the brainstem. Magnetic nuclear resonance is the study of choice to characterize and locate the lesion. We report the case of a 71-year old man who presented right third cranial nerve palsy and hemiataxia, a rare condition known as Claude's syndrome.

Los accidentes cerebrovasculares mesencefálicos son poco frecuentes y por lo general están acompañados de otras lesiones concomitantes. La presencia simultánea de signos ipsi y contralaterales obliga a pensar en un síndrome alterno por compromiso del tronco encefálico. La resonancia magnética nuclear es el estudio de elección para caracterizar y localizar la lesión. Presentamos el caso de un hombre de 71 años que sufrió parálisis del tercer par derecho y hemiataxia izquierda, cuadro infrecuente, conocido como síndrome de Claude.

Keywords: Claude's syndrome; brain stem infarction; right third cranial nerve.
