- Abstract
- "Hemichorea or hemiballism has been correlated clinico-anatomically with lesions of the contralateral side, most com-monly
of the subthalamic nucleus. Hemichorea due to an ipsilateral lesion is extremely rare. We report a case of a 74-
year-old man who developed a left sided hemichorea due to a left thalamic infarction. The literature on the rare occur-rence
of ipsilateral hemichorea/hemiballism is discussed and possible pathomechanisms are reviewed.Key Words : Hemichorea, Ipsilateral thalamus, Infarction"
