“…It is a well-recognized transient feature of a lateral medullary syndrome (4446) and axial body lateropulsion may occur in some patients even without vestibular and cerebellar dysfunctions (isolated body lateropulsion). They suffer from a caudal medullary lesion of the spinocerebellar tract, the descending lateral vestibulospinal tract, the ascending vestibulo-thalamic and dentatorubro-thalamic pathways, or the thalamocortical fascicle (44, 45, 47, 48). The isolated symptomatology of lateropulsion can be attributed to lesions below the network of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which links the extraocular eye muscles and contributes to the perception of gravitational vertical.…”

“…[ 2 11 12 ] IBL, i.e., BL without other signs of cerebellar or bulbar involvement, has been described in limited case reports where it has been associated with lesions involving the cerebellum,[ 13 14 ] cerebellar peduncles,[ 15 ] red nucleus,[ 16 ] and medulla. [ 5 6 7 17 ] In a few other cases caused by a bulbar lesion, IBL has been reported as an initial symptom of LMS [ Table 1 ]. [ 3 4 5 6 7 18 19 20 ] However, in all cases of BL of bulbar origin, the lesion was found in the ipsilateral part of the medulla [ Table 1 ].…”

“…[ 1 ] Body lateropulsion (BL), i.e., the phenomenon of tilting the body to one side when standing, may rarely be the initial or unique symptom of LMS, a syndrome that includes a variety of symptoms depending on the extent of the lesion. [ 2 3 4 5 6 7 ] In this study, we report a case of isolated BL (IBL) associated with an acute ischemic infarction in the lateral aspect of the medulla extending from the rostral to the caudal level.…”

“…Our patient's predominant symptom was body lateropulsion. The dorsal/ventral spinocerebellar tract, the descending lateral vestibulospinal tract (LVST), the vestibulo-thalamic pathway (ascending graviceptive pathway), the dentatoruburothalamic pathway, and the thalamocortical fascicle play important roles in the maintenance of body posture and stability, and a lesion affecting these pathways can cause body lateropulsion [ 7 , 8 ]. In particular, injuries of the spinocerebellar tract and/or the LVST are known to cause body lateropulsion in patients with lateral medullary infarction or cerebellar infarction [ 1 , 9 ].…”
