Bilateral medial cerebellar infarction in a patient positive for lupus anticoagulant.

We describe a middle aged male with bilateral cerebellar infarction complicated by subsequent left superior cerebellar artery infarction. Lupus anticoagulant was positive. Though the prognosis is usually considered good, our patient made poor recovery.
