Abstract
This case study describes a patient who experienced motor recovery and involuntary movements following damage to the right primary somatosensory cortex caused by an intracranial hemorrhage. The patient initially suffered from paralysis in her left arm and leg, but exhibited significant motor recovery later, accompanied by multiple episodes of ballistic movement during the recovery process. A diffusion tensor imaging analysis was performed to investigate changes in sensorimotor-related brain areas in the patient. The patient had higher fractional anisotropy and lower mean diffusivity values in the ipsilesional red nucleus (RN) than age-matched controls. We assume that hyperactivity of the ipsilesional RN might play a role in motor recovery after damage to the primary somatosensory cortex, potentially through its involvement in sensorimotor integration. Our findings demonstrated the potential for adaptive changes in the ipsilesional RN following damage to the primary somatosensory cortex.
