Abstract:
As the corticospinal tract crosses at the medulla, supratentorial stroke generally influences the opposite extremity. However, new incidences of hemiparesis might occur in the ipsilateral brain if there was a previous infarction in the opposite brain or a congenital structural abnormality. The occurrence of ipsilateral hemiparesis after cerebral infarction is very rare; however, we report here the case of a patient who developed right hemiparesis that was identified as acute right middle cerebral artery infarction.
