--Marqyank27 (talk) 23:00, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Weber's Syndrome Weber's Syndrome has a few distinct symptoms: contralateral hemiparesis of limb and facial muscle accompanied by the same side of the oculomotor nerve which causes weakness in one or more muscles that control eye movement. [1] Another symptom that appears is the loss of eye movement due to damage to the oculomotor nerve fibers. The upper and lower extremities have increase weakness.[2] A facial port wine stain occurs in the ophthalmic nerve (one of 3 branches of the trigeminal nerve). The person might develop glaucoma, vascular eye anomalies, accelerating neurological problems, seizures, migraines, strokelike episodes, learning difficulties, and visual field cuts.[3] Middle Alternating Hemiplegia Middle Alternating Hemiplegia typically constitutes weakness of the extremities accompanied by paralysis of the orbit in the eye muscle on the opposite side of the affect brain, [which] indicates a lesion in the caudal and medial pons involving the abducens nerve root (controls movement of the eye) and corticospinal fibers (carries motor commands from the brain to the spinal cord)..[4] Inferior alternating hemiplegia Inferior alternating hemiplegia typically involves a “weakness of the extremities accompanied by paralysis of muscles on the contralateral side of the tongue (seen as a deviation of the tongue on that side on protrusion) indicates a lesion in the medulla involving the corticospinal fibers in the pyramid and the exiting hypoglossal roots.)[5] All these subtypes of alternating hemiplegia have two common symptoms which are weakness or paralysis in the upper or lower extremities and problems with the eye either involving vision or muscle contraction.
