    Author: Lodder J, Baard WC.
    Journal: Neurology; 1981 Apr; 31(4):484-6. PubMed ID: 7194444.
    Abstract:
    Bilateral ballism developed gradually in a 75-year-old woman after head trauma. Computerized tomography revealed bilateral hemorrhagic infarction in the head of the caudate nucleus and the putamen. Haloperidol abolished the symptoms completely within 2 days. After 18 days, haloperidol was gradually withdrawal over 16 days. The patient remained without ballistic movements thereafter.
