Dorsolateral medullary ischemic infarction causing autonomic dysfunction and headache: a case report

[摘要] Stroke can present, among other signs, with headache.

The anatomical relationship between lesion and symptomatology could be an indirect sign of hypothalamospinal tract involvement in the genesis of autonomic dysfunction and headache resembling a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia.
