Hypertrophic olivary degeneration following cerebral infarction: a case report

The diagnosis of HOD needs to fulfill the following three points: first, typical clinical manifestations; second, damage to the Guillain-Mollaret triangle; and third, enlarged T2WI high signal over the inferior olivary nucleus. The author reports the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with HOD, whose main manifestations were "dizziness and unsteady walking", with the aim of improving clinicians' understanding of the disease, especially raising the alertness of HOD after stroke, and reducing missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.
