Orthostatic hypotension with meningoencephalitis involving the rostral ventrolateral medulla

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is commonly associated with autonomic failure in the peripheral nervous system. Less often it is related to central lesions in brainstem and cerebellum. We describe a patient with OH associated with tuberculosis meningoencephalitis involving the brainstem including rostral ventrolateral medulla. This is the first case of OH resulting from focal lesions in the dorsal medulla in a patient with meningoencephalitis.
