Capsular stroke as a cause of hemiplegia in infancy

Richard S.K. Young, MD, David L. Coulter, MD and Richard J. Allen, MD

Divisions of Pediatric Neurology, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center of the Pennsylvania State University (Dr. Young), Hershey, PA, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (Dr. Coulter), and the University of Michigan (Dr. Allen), Ann Arbor, MI.

Small, deep lesions of the internal capsule are an uncommon cause of infantile hemiplegia. We report the clinical and radio-graphic findings of three children with hemiplegia with capsular lesions. Although the etiology of capsular stroke in these children remains uncertain, neither hypertension, coagulopathy, nor vascular malformation was an important factor.
