N2  - We report 2 cases of children who developed a delayed hemiparesis following minor closed head injury with no alteration in consciousness and normal CT studies. MRI showed focal lesions in the ventral pons contralateral to the hemiparesis. Both patients recovered to near normal neurologic function within several days of injury. We postulate a mechanism of injury based on focal contusion of perforating brainstem arteries resulting in the delayed onset of vasospasm.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
