Summaries for Brain Stem Infarction

About this section
Disease Ontology : 12 A brain infarction that is characterized by stroke of the brain stem that develops from blockage or narrowing in the arteries located in the brainstem, has material basis in damage to the cranial nerve nuclei and long tracts, has symptom vertigo, has symptom imbalance, has symptom decreased level of arousal.

MalaCards based summary : Brain Stem Infarction, also known as brain stem infarctions, is related to vertebral artery occlusion and basilar artery occlusion, and has symptoms including vertigo, imbalance and decreased level of arousal. An important gene associated with Brain Stem Infarction is PLG (Plasminogen), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Cell adhesion_ECM remodeling and Cell adhesion_Plasmin signaling. The drugs Clotrimazole and Miconazole have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brainstem, brain and eye, and related phenotype is craniofacial.
