    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neuroimaging
    • Stroke Medicine

    Background:

    • Ataxic hemiparesis is a rare neurological condition.
    • The posterior limb of the internal capsule is a critical brain structure.

    Observation:

    • A 67-year-old man presented with left hemiparesis and ataxia.
    • Computed tomography (CT) revealed a lesion in the right internal capsule with contrast enhancement.

    Findings:

    • The lesion showed decreased attenuation on CT, consistent with an infarct.
    • Contrast enhancement resolved as the patient's symptoms improved, supporting an ischemic event.

    Implications:

    • This case suggests infarcts in the posterior limb of the internal capsule can cause ataxic hemiparesis.
    • Understanding this association aids in diagnosing and treating stroke patients with similar presentations.
