- Abstract
- "Asterixis is an abrupt, brief, arrhythmic lapse of tonically contracting muscles. A 64-year old woman with a left thalamic
infarction showed asymmetric bilateral asterixis after taking phenytoin for the control of thalamic pain. Though
thalamic lesion can cause asterixis, her asterixis may have been induced by phenytoin, because it was bilateral and subsided
after stopping phenytoin. We report an unusual case of asymmetric asterixis induced by phenytoin in a patient
with a left thalamic infarction.Key Words : Asterixis, Phenytoin, Thalamic infarction"
