Abstract
Strokes in the vertebrobasilar arterial distribution may result in a variety of physical findings and can be challenging to diagnose. We report a case of a 60-year-old woman with infarction of the left midbrain, right pons, and bilateral thalami with physical findings resembling transtentorial herniation.
