  • Thank you to the person who posted this. Thank you to the patient for having the courage and generosity to educate us.

  • Caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, or subthalamic nucleus - usually asymptomatic but may cause hemiballismus. This is called the basal ganglia lacune. possible vessels involved during stroke that causes this syndrome: lenticulostriate (from MCA), anterior choroidal (from ICA), thalamoperforator (from PCA) or Heubner's arteries (from ACA).

  • is this DRPLA?

  • I'm just learning neuroanatomy, but these videos are very informative about what happens when something in that or that nucleus goes wrong :)

  • my friend too :(, may i know the negative effect of hemiballismus to a pregnant woman. is that danger for the baby ?

  • @dska22 What you wrote is my understanding as well...unless humtoharhou was thinking of a more subtle lesion of the striatum, like the loss of medium spiny neurons that you see in Huntington's disease. But, yeah, total loss of the striatum (like a stroke) would give you parkinson type symptoms, not hemiballismus or chorea.

  • Thank you for posting this.  It is a very sad condition, indeed, but your post has made it so that I will never forget what it looks like to have hemiballismus.

  • @humtoharhou STN. Wouldn't a lesion in the striatum (putamen + caudate) also inactivate the direct pathway, leading to decreased movement (countering the increased input to the thalamus from the indirect pathway, post-STN lesion)? I thought it was just STN in hemiballismus.

  • lesions in STN or putamen..

  • Contralateral subthalamic nucleus
