Hemichorea Neglect after Stroke

Abstract

We report a case of a 74-year-old Japanese woman who, after left thalamic infarction, developed right hemichorea and its neglect. This rare finding was associated with ipsi- and contralateral brain perfusion changes, presumably reflecting de-afferentiation within the brain.
