ABSTRACT
Avellis syndrome is a clinical disorder characterized by ipsilateral paralysis of palate, larynx, and vocal cord paralysis and contralateral hemianesthesia. The syndrome is usually due to lesion of medulla oblongata. Involeved structures are nucleus ambiguus, lateral spinothalamic tract, and descending sympathetic fibers. We present 2 cases of Avellis syndrome with MRI findings, which showed infarction of right-sided upper medulla oblongata.
