Symmetrical necrosis of the brain stem nuclei has been described as a consequence of severe transitory cerebral hypoxia mainly in neonates or young adults who experienced an episode of acute ischemia due to transitory acute heart failure. We report selective bilateral lesions of the solitary tract nuclei in 5 adults with short survival intervals after acute heart failure.
