A 62‐year‐old man presented with monoballism of the right leg. Magnetic resonance images revealed a small hemorrhagic focus confined to the caudal portion of the left subthalamic nucleus. The monoballism disappeared after a short time, without treatment. This is the first report of lower monoballism with single subthalamic lesion. The findings in this case support the theory of somatotopic correspondence in the subthalamic nucleus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
