PMID-18842415[0] Transient hemiballism caused by a small lesion of the subthalamic nucleus.
- Hemiballism is most commonly caused by ischemic stroke and most cases have a favorable prognosis.
- Lesions directly involving the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are the cause of a minority of cases but are usually associated with poor prognosis.
- We report two patients with a small STN lesion who presented with transient hemiballism.
- This may be a useful ref in the future.
- This reports the same result: PMID-17702635
