    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old man developed aphasia, weakness of the right upper extremity and left limb-kinetic apraxia. Brain MRI showed an infarct in the area supplied by the left middle cerebral artery. Cerebral angiography revealed high grade stenosis with plaques of bilateral proximal internal carotid arteries. The carotid endarterectomy of the left carotid artery was performed three months later. After this operation his left limb-kinetic apraxia improved. We considered transhemispheric diaschisis, callosal apraxia or diagonistic dyspraxia as a possible cause of this rare symptom.
