- Abstract
- Flexor spasm caused by stroke has been rarely reported. We describe a 79-year-old man who suddenly presented with
flexor spasm of left limb and neck muscles. His symptoms consisted of recurrent episodes of brief paroxysmal flexor
contractions of left limb and neck muscles without alteration of consciousness. Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging
revealed acute infarction in right basal ganglia. The abnormal movement was not associated with any epileptiform
discharges in the video-electroencephalography monitoring. It was controlled with carbamazepine and phenytoin. Key Words: Basal ganglia, Infarction, Spasm
