Are you sure? I think it will result in medial medullary syndrome.

It does both
Medial medullary syn.
1)Corticospinal tract-contralateral heniparesis of trunk and extremities.
2)medial lemniscus-contralateral loss of propioception,tactile sensation vibration from trunk and extremiites
3)Hypoglossal nerve roots-ipsilateral flacid paralysis of tongue
This is a lesion at the caudal medulla at the level of hypoglossal nucleus of CN XII and at the dorsal motor nucleus of CN X./The former is complete ventral spinal artery occlusion of the cord.(loss of bladder and bowel control)
