A bit confused why compression of contralater superior peduncle causes ipsilateral paresis on the side of the lesion. Superior peduncle --> contralateral cortex (in this case side on the lesion) --> contralteral side of the body. So wouldn't the compression on contralateral penducle via herniation cause a contralateral paresis and ipsilateral paresis. I'm mainly confused by the reasoning in FA which states that the kernohan notch results in ipsilateral paresis but I'm wondering why it wouldn't be contralateral.
Apologize the wordiness, I did my best to explain my thought process.
