Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Lateral medullary syndrome is due to the occlusion of
A
Anterior spinal artery
B
Anterior inferior cerebellar artery
C
Posterior inferior cerebellar artery
D
Posterior spinal artery
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lateral medullary syndrome results from a vascular event in the lateral part of the medulla oblongata. The arteries commonly involved in lateral medullary syndrome are the posterior inferior cerebellar artery or the vertebral artery.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wallenberg syndrome (WS) is a neurological disorder that is due to damage to the lateral portion of the medulla oblongata (i.e., the lateral medullary syndrome). WS is typically due to ischemia from a vertebral artery or posterior inferior cerebellar artery infarction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery (PICA) carries blood to this part of the brain. This stroke (Wallenberg’s Syndrome) causes the person to have balance problems and lean to one side. They may also have numbness on one side of the face and body and an eye droop. They may have hoarseness and trouble swallowing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wallenberg syndrome is also called lateral medullary and posterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome. This neurological disorder is associated with various symptoms that result from damage to the lateral segment of the medulla posterior to the inferior olivary nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -Medial medullary syndrome is a form of stroke that affects the medial medulla of the brain. It is usually caused by atherothrombotic occlusion of paramedian branches of the anterior spinal artery, the vertebral artery, or the basilar artery.
