  • Title: The Wilson films--hemiballism.
    Author: Lozano AM.
    Journal: Mov Disord; 2011 Dec; 26(14):2469-70. PubMed ID: 22170270.
    Abstract:

The video demonstrates wide amplitude choreic movements of the proximal and distal limbs of the right side, as well as of the axial musculature. Classical teaching dictates that this patient has a lesion in the subthalamic nucleus. Here then is a prime example where classical teaching is wrong!
