Astasia and Asterixis after Acute Unilateral Thalamic infarction
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Organic causes of astasia or asterixis have been descreibed in the literature. However, concurrent unilateral manifestation of the two symptoms is extremely rare. We report two cases presenting with astasia and asterixis is extremely rare. We
report two
cases presenting with astasia and asterixis due to infarcts involving the ventrolateral nucleus of the left thalamus. Acute onset of astasia or asterixis in patients without significant metabolic disorder should alert the clinician on the
possibility of
acute stroke involving the thalamus.
