Implication

Case report reveals temporal relationship of hypertrophic olivary degeneration in a patient with tremor following brainstem hemorrhage, indicating critical implications for symptom monitoring.

Key Points

To document the clinical and radiologic progression of hypertrophic olivary degeneration following brainstem hemorrhage.
Case presentation of a 43-year-old male with intracerebral hemorrhage and serial MRI at 4, 9, 13, and 17 weeks post-hemorrhage.
Assessment of clinical symptoms including tremor and dysphagia with corresponding MRI findings.
Comparison of MRI results with timeline of symptom onset related to hypertrophic olivary degeneration.
At 9 weeks, T2 hyperintensity in the inferior olivary nucleus emerged, preceding tremor onset.
At 13 weeks, MRI indicated hypertrophy of the inferior olivary nucleus, with diameter increasing from 5 mm to 7 mm.
Dysphagia persisted and required PEG tube insertion, documenting the clinical progression alongside MRI changes.
