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.
