B Fig. 54.—A illustrates a lesion in the upper pons, producing the usual hemiplegia (face,arm and leg paralyzed on the opposite side). B illustrates a lesion in the lower pons, produc-ing alternating paralysis; all branches of the face (peripheral paralysis) and tongue on theside of lesion are paralyzed with paralysis of the contralateral arm and leg. hypoglossus is paralyzed, shows the reaction of degeneration and producesatrophy of the tongue.

Glycosuria, albuminuria, disturbed respirationor heart action (vagus) and vomiting are other bulbar symptoms. Diseasemay cause paralysis of both arms and legs or rarely of one arm and theopposite leg (hemiplegia cruciata). XIII.
