Figures & Tables

Neuroimaging studies: Axial Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI). (A) shows restricted diffusion in the right temporal lobe and scattered hyperintensity in right occipital lobe. Axial Apparent diffussion coefficient (ADC) (C) shows hypointensity in the same area. Axial ADC, DWI, and Fluid attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) (B) do not show any evidence of infarct in the basal ganglia or thalamus. Computed tomography angiogram of neck (D) shows occlusion of the right posterior cerebral artery.

Video 1

Left-sided hemichorea. The video demonstrates irregular, involuntary, purposeless, non-rhythmic, rapid, and partially suppressible movements in the left upper and lower extremity. There were no abnormal movements in the face and it is not shown.
