MUROS CORTES, Carolina et al. Claude syndrome: Incomplete third cranial nerve palsy and contralateral ataxia. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.3, pp.445-447. ISSN 0025-7680.

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. Mag netic 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.
