Abstract:
The authors describe the case of a patient in whom painful tonic spasms developed as a consequence of a small infarct involving the lateral aspect of the putamen, the external capsule, and the subcortical white matter of the posterior insular region. Possible pathogenetic mechanisms explaining painful tonic spasms are discussed.
