Wallenberg's syndrome: a first-person account.
As clinicians, we may be faced with the patient who has had a stroke with resultant visual and ocular manifestations. Often it is difficult to appreciate the implications of the symptoms and their effects on the quality of life. In this article the first author describes his experiences as a patient, with the hope that this account will assist others to understand this condition better, thus resulting in both enhanced care and sensitivity.
