Neurological examination revealed dilatation of the left pupil (6 mm) with no light response. Oculocephalic and oculovestibular reflexes were abolished. There was bilateral Babinski sign and bilateral decerebrate posture after pain stimuli. Stimulation for testing the corneal reflex elicited a normal direct response, an absent consensual response, and a horizontal movement of the mandible to the contralateral side (corneomandibular reflex [Wartenberg reflex]) (video) on both sides. Neuroimaging showed a massive cerebral infarct (Figure). The patient died 7 days after the initial neurological consultation.</span> 1 1 10.1001/jamaneurol.2013.1944 http://pubs.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleID=1674016
