Episodic dyskinesias and transient cerebral ischemia

Department of Neurology and Laboratory of Cognitive Neuropsychology, (Dr. Margolin) Good Samaritan Hospital, Portland, OR, and University Department of Neurology, Institute of Psychiatry and King's College Hospital Medical School, (Dr. Marsden) London, United Kingdom.

We studied four patients who had abnormal involuntary movements, apparently as a manifestation of transient cerebral ischemia. The movements were consistent with hemiballismus or hemichorea. In two patients, carotid atheromas contralateral to the dyskinesias were demonstrated by angiography; in another patient, a cardiac aneurysm was demonstrated by coronary angiography.
