Basillar artery runs down the middle(in above image) and blockage is cause of this condition. Diagram of the arterial circulation at the base of the brain (inferior view).

Raymond–Céstan syndrome is caused by blockage of the long circumferential branches of the basilar artery.[1] It was described by Fulgence Raymond and Étienne Jacques Marie Raymond Céstan.[2] 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.[3]
