The Babinski Nageotte syndrome , rare short Babinski syndrome called, is a alternating brainstem syndrome . It occurs when the dorsolateral, that is, the posterior lateral medulla oblongata (elongated medulla) is damaged . It is therefore also known as alternating medulla oblongata syndrome .
It is an alternating (from Latin alternating, different on both sides) syndrome, as it comes to neurological failures of both crossed and uncrossed nerve fibers or pathways. In other words, the neurological deficits, related to the location of the damage, manifest on the same (homo-, ipsilateral ) or the opposite ( contralateral ) side of the body. When Babinski Nageotte syndrome is on the ipsilateral side to a cerebellar ataxia and Horner syndrome , on the contralateral side, however, in decreased sensitivity and paralysis (hemi hypoesthesia and hemiparesis ).
Babinski-Nageotte syndrome was named after the French-Polish neurologist Joseph Babinski and the French anatomist Jean Nageotte , who published a description of the disease in two papers in 1902.
