Abstract

Hemiballism is a relatively rare hyperkinetic disorder. Most reported cases of hemiballismus were occurred as a result of lesions of the subthalamic nucleus or its interconnections with the basal ganglia. The most common reason of ballismus is cerebrovascular diseases. However, neoplasm, infection, inflammation, and trauma may also be a cause of hemiballismus. We observed hemiballismus due to thalamic lesion in a 72-year-old, right-handed woman. The magnetic resonance imaging of our patient showed a focal gliotic lesion in the right ventrolateral thalamus.

Özet

Hemiballizm, hareket bozuklukları arasında rölatif olarak seyrek görülen hiperkinetik bir bozukluktur. Literatürde bildirilen hemiballismuslu olguların çoğu, subtalamik nükleus veya bu nükleusun bazal ganglionlarla olan bağlantılarındaki lezyonlara bağlıdır. Ballismusun en yaygın nedeni serebrovasküler hastalıklardır. Bununla birlikte santral sinir sistemi ile ilgili tümörler, infeksiyonlar, iltihabi hastalıklar ve travma gibi başka nedenler de etyolojide yer alabilir. Biz 72 yaşındaki bir kadın hastada talamik lezyona bağlı gelişen hemiballismus gözledik. Beyin tomografisi normal olan hastamızın beyin magnetik rezonans görüntülemesinde ventrolateral talamusta fokal gliozisle uyumlu lezyon saptadık.
