- uncal herniation
- . It will herniate downward
compressing on brain stem. This can
sqeeze oculomotor nerve (supplying
eye muscle).
- Also it will push the left side of midbrain compressing
the cerebral crus which contain the motor tracts so they
will all be compressed leading to ilpsilateral muscle
weakness (cuz crossing happenes in pyramids).
