title: [Gasperini syndrome--differential diagnosis of peripheral facial nerve paralysis. Neurologic and imaging findings].
abstract: The Gasperini syndrome is a cause of peripheral facial palsy: In the following case report, a 75-year-old woman is described who presented with a peripheral left facial palsy. On examination left beating nystagmus was found with contralateral loss of pain and temperature affecting the right side of the body but sparing the face. The signs and symptoms corresponded to the Gasperini syndrome caused by a lesion in the dorsal caudal pons in the region of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery. MR imaging confirmed a lesion in this site.
