Abstract:
A unilateral pseudobulbar syndrome consequent to unilateral capsulothalamic infarction is described. Motor deficit of the face was associated with marked velar and pharyngeal unilateral palsy; paresis of limbs was mild. ACT scan revealed a circumscribed infarction of the genu of the internal capsule. This raised the problem of unilateral supranuclear pharyngeal palsies and of the precise anatomy of the genicular tract in the genu of the internal capsule.
