Features section re: sympathetic fibres
The 'features' table lists dysfunction of ' descending sympathetic fibres' as being the cause of Horner Syndrome in LMS. Given that there are no such descending sympathetic fibres in the medulla oblongata, or any of the brain for that matter since all sympathetic fibres arise from spinal cord levels T1-L2 (ascending to innervate areas above here including the head), the only sympathetic fibres that could be dysfunctional would be ascending fibres. Only ascending fibres exist here, and only ascending fibres (going to supply the face and eyelid!) could produce the symptoms of Horner Syndrome. --217.44.7.188 (talk) 11:36, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I think the 'descending' refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothalamospinal_tract (Hypothalamus->(via brainstem)->spinal cord) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.49.236.221 (talk) 14:38, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Name of syndrome
I've attempted to edit all references to the syndrome with "lateral medullary syndrome" since that is the name of the article. I'm too inexperienced on Wikipedia to know if there are some problems with re-directing of this page, but I think maybe there are. Thanks for any help. Mseliw 13:21, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

ENPH 450
Our group has come up with about 8 different sources to help improve this article. The ones that we have looked at and collected information so far are listed below. Some changes have already been made to the treatment paragraph. We have additional material to add to the history section, treatment, and may possibly be adding an epidemiology section if we can find enough information on it. These may not be cited entirely correct. We will edit them if needed.

Example paragraph to be inserted in to symptoms paragraph which will then be edited "In about one third of patients, an ocular tilt reaction has been observed. This reaction can include skew deviation, deviation of the subjective visual vertical, and illusions of room tilt that usually follow vertigo. Nystagmus, and most commonly torsional nystagmus may also be associated with vertigo spells. Less common types of nystagmus seen in lateral medullary syndrome include, gaze-evoked nystagmus, Bruns nystagmus, and see-saw nystagmus." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rolfsmmj (talk • contribs) 06:14, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
