Read on the eighty-fifth annual meeting of the American Neurological Association, Boston, June 13, 1960." "During Determination of the prognosis of certain of the brain stem vascular syndromes, some detail had been gathered concerning that of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (Wallenberg's retroolivary or lateral medullary syndrome). This unique neurologic entity has attracted the attention of generations of neurologists since the first report of Alexander Marcet' in 1813, who described the case of another physician who recounted his own symptoms. The list of those who have written since on this subject is extensive, as revealed in the detailed bibliography given bv Louis Bar.

Therefore, a further study of our cases was carried out from the point of view of symptomatology and anatomic localization. What follows is a detailed analysis of the symptoms in relation to each other and to the presumed location of the infarct.
