An easy way to differentiate these midbrain syndromes is to remember that, moving from anterior to posterior, all three involve oculomotor nerve damage, with additional distinct features:
Weber’s syndrome – affects the anterior midbrain, involving the corticospinal tracts, leading to contralateral weakness.
Benedikt’s syndrome – involves the mid-midbrain, including the red nucleus, causing abnormal involuntary movements such as tremor and chorea.
Claude’s syndrome – localized to the posterior midbrain, where superior cerebellar peduncle fibers (after decussation) are affected, resulting in cerebellar signs (think Claude = Cerebellar).

Do you know that March 21 is Cluster Headache Awareness Day?
This is Cluster Headache — one of the most severe primary headache disorders.
🔹 Attacks last 15–180 minutes
🔹 Can occur up to 8 times per day
🔹 Often appear in clusters for weeks or months
During an attack, people often feel restless or unable to stay still, unlike migraine where patients prefer to lie quietly.
Check more about cluster headache on ICHD-3

@neurobullets ¡¿Con propósito de enarm o qué!?
Por qué, en 2026, utilizaría dexametasona en meningitis!?
Español

Tratamiento empírico de la meningitis bacteriana aguda:
- Vancomicina 20 mg/kg cada 8-12 h
- Ceftriaxona 2 g IV cada 12 h
- Ampicilina 2 g IV cada 8 h (> 50 años e inmunocomprometidos)
- Dexametasona 10 mg IV cada 6 h
⚡️ Debe iniciarse lo más rápido posible, idealmente dentro de la primera hora de presentación (cada hora de retraso en su inicio aumenta la mortalidad en un 12.6%).
