Rehabilitation of the Pontine Ataxia-Dysmetria Syndrome: A Case Presentation

We present a case of a patient with significant ataxia and dysmetria following a lacunar pontine infarction and review the literature on this uncommon syndrome. The patient had an excellent clinical course with near resolution of symptoms and signs in less than three weeks. We characterize and illustrate with videos of the ataxia and dysmetria. Interestingly, the characteristics of the dysmetria appear to be different than that seen in patients with dysmetria arising from a cerebellar or thalamic lesion.
