👉 Aquincubitalism is a medical condition that affects the brainstem, which includes the spinal cord. It occurs when there is a blockage or narrowing of the aqueduct, which is responsible for blood flow to the brain. This can cause symptoms such as numbness and weakness in the legs and arms, confusion, difficulty speaking, and even seizures. It's often caused by injuries or infections that disrupt normal communication between the brain and spinal cord.
