    Author: Saposnik G, Mauriño J, Gonzalez LA.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 2001 Sep; 59(3-A):590-2. PubMed ID: 11588641.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of catalepsy associated with thalamic hemorrhage. A 72 year-old hypertensive woman had acute onset of right-sided weakness and speech disturbances. She was on anticoagulants because of aortic valve replacement. When postures were imposed, the patient maintained the left upper limb raised for several minutes, even in uncomfortable or bizarre positions. A CT scan of the head revealed a left thalamic hemorrhage. Cataleptic postures have been reported in few cases with acute stroke.
