Wernekink commissural syndrome (WCS) is a distinct midbrain syndrome that involves the caudal tegmentum of the midbrain and selectively damages the Wernekink commissure involved in the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncle in midbrain. The aim of the study was to explore the clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and differential diagnosis of WCS in midbrain infarction to provide reference for clinicians in the diagnosis of WCS.
