Inferior medial pontine syndrome (or Foville syndrome) is one of the brainstem stroke syndromes occuring when there is infarction of the medial inferior aspect of the pons due to occlusion of the paramedian branches of the basilar artery. This infarction involves the following: - corticospinal tract leads to contralateral hemiplegia/hemiparesis. -corticobulbar tract leads to contralateral weakness of the lower half of the face. -medial leminiscus leads to contralateral loss of proprioception and vibration. -middle cerebellar peduncle leads to ipsilateral ataxia. -abducent nerve roots leads to lateral gaze paralysis and diplopia.
