Raymond Céstan syndrome

Raymond Céstan syndrome, also known as Céstan–Chenais syndrome or upper dorsal pontine syndrome, is caused by blockage of the long circumferential branches of the basilar artery. It was described by Étienne Jacques Marie Raymond Céstan and Louis Jean Chenais. Along with other related syndromes such as Millard-Gubler syndrome, Foville's syndrome, and Weber's syndrome, the description was instrumental in establishing important principles in brain-stem localization.
