Abstract

Bilateral medial cerebellar infarction occurring simultaneously is rare. We describe a middle aged male with bilateral cerebellar infarction complicated by subsequent left superior cerebellar artery infarction. Lupus anticoagulant was positive. Though the prognosis is usually considered good, our patient made poor recovery.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
