Lateral pontine syndrome

	Lateral pontine syndrome;
ICD-10	G46.3

A lateral pontine syndrome is a lesion which is similar to the Lateral medullary syndrome, but because it occurs in the pons, it also involves the cranial nerve nuclei of the pons.

It can be caused by an interruption to the blood supply of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery.
