2. Pontine infarctions in the three patients with corresponding sensory features: Shown are hypoesthesia in the left cheek and ala nasi due to an ischemic infarct in the upper left pons (case 1); hypoesthesia in the midfacial right region due to ischemic lesions in the rostral right pons (case 2); and hypoesthesia in the left ala of the nose and upper lip due to infarction of the left paramedian penetrating arteries of the pons (case 3).

3. Case 1.
Case 1. A, Axial T2-weighted MRI shows an infarct in the upper left pons (repetition time, 2500 ms; echo time, 80 ms). B, Sagittal T1-weighted MRI discloses the infarct in the ventral pons (repetition time, 480 ms; echo time, 15 ms).

4. Case 2.
Case 2. Axial T2-weighted MRI shows a right ventral pons infarction and another small infarction near the tegmental area (repetition time, 2500 ms; echo time, 80 ms).

5. Case 3.
Case 3. A, Axial T2-weighted MRI shows an infarct in the left pons (repetition time, 2500 ms; echo time, 80 ms). B, Sagittal T1-weighted MRI discloses the infarction in the ventromedial protuberance (repetition time, 480 ms; echo time, 15 ms).
