  • Title: Lacunar thalamic stroke proclivity for falls.
    Author: Nagaratnam N, Leung H, Bou-Haider P.
    Journal: Int J Clin Pract; 2004 Jan; 58(1):83-5. PubMed ID: 14994976.
    Abstract:
    Small ischaemic lesions strategically placed could give rise to specific clinical manifestations depending on the location and size of the lesion. We present the case of five patients with imbalance and falls with no other neurological findings. The computed tomographic scan showed a lacunar infarct in the right or left thalamus. The tendency to fall may complicate rehabilitation. The possible physiological mechanisms are discussed.
