  • Title: Paraballism associated with anterior opercular syndrome: a case report.
    Author: Nicolai A, Lazzarino LG.
    Journal: Clin Neurol Neurosurg; 1994 May; 96(2):145-7. PubMed ID: 7924078.
    Abstract:
    We describe the combination of acute bilateral ballism and anterior opercular syndrome in a 75-year-old female hypertensive patient with bilateral multiple small infarcts involving the basal ganglia, the subcortical white matter and the area of the subthalamic nucleus, detected by CT scan and MRI. These clinical manifestations were accompanied by apathy, somnolence and cognitive changes usually observed in cortical involvement. Pathogenetic mechanisms for this unusual clinical picture are discussed on the basis of CT, MRI, and SPECT findings.
