Symptomatic hemidystonia of delayed onset. Magnetic resonance demonstration of pathology in the putamen and the caudate nucleus.
1989
—
We present a case of symptomatic hemidystonia of delayed onset. The primary disease was a perinatal, presumed cerebrovascular infarction brought about by febrile illness with convulsions 12 weeks after partus. After many years without neurological symptoms, the hemidystonia started in adolescence, and became stationary after 4 years of mild progression. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed atrophy of the right striatum including the caudate nucleus and putamen. The symptoms responded moderately to treatment with benzhexol.
