50 hemiballismus 

from a medical student: thank you so much it helped me and i hope you get well

A medical student here. I'm currently learning about lesions of the basal ganglia, one of which is the subthalamic nucleus. A lesion in the subthalamic nucleus usually causes hemiballismus. Thank you so much for posting this as it helps me understand the clinical signs more. Hope you get well 🙏

Subthalamic nucleus, symptoms contralateral to lesion. Symptoms decrease with sleep. Treatment: antidopaminergics e.g haloperidol

Thank you so much for posting this! This is really helpful to medical students! Much love to the patient and physician.

Thank you to the patient for having the courage and generosity to educate us.Greetings a medical student.

As a medical student thank you to the doctor and patient for teaching us and helping us learn, God bless you,

My Salute to You Great Lady, May The God Almighty, The One And Only, Help You & Be With You, Bless You with his Blessings. The Video was helpful to understand the Clinical condition of this Disease, it would help us alot to decrease sufferings of others.

Thank you for posting this. It is a very sad condition, indeed, but your post has made it so that I will never forget what it looks like to have hemiballismus.

That’s helpful and hope this lovely lady have a wonderful happy life 🧡🧡🫶🏼

thank you very much to the person who posted this and also to the patient. God bless u both really helpful video.

Caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, or subthalamic nucleus - usually asymptomatic but may cause hemiballismus. This is called the basal ganglia lacune. possible vessels involved during stroke that causes this syndrome: lenticulostriate (from MCA), anterior choroidal (from ICA), thalamoperforator (from PCA) or Heubner's arteries (from ACA).

Thank you so much for the video and to the patient. It's after a decade now but I hope you are better now.

Thank you so much ..

Thank you so much for sharing, may the patient get well soon!

May God bless you. Thank you so much for this.

Thank you very much for sharing! Wish you well!

Pobre mujer.. Gracias por el aporte!

Thank you so much for your help

I agree, damage to the R Subthalamic nucleaus would release inhibition on motor cortex giving these symptoms on the left side. Cheers!

Thank you! a really useful video!

my grandma has this. It was after a stroke. but its on her leg. i feel so bad for her. shes havin thereapy.

Thanks for the patient

Thank you for sharing

You look gorgeous beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Poor lady, looks like this is making her pretty miserable. Apart from some stuff mentioned below hypocalcaemia can also cause this.

thank you for this vedio. i hope you get well

@dska22 What you wrote is my understanding as well...unless humtoharhou was thinking of a more subtle lesion of the striatum, like the loss of medium spiny neurons that you see in Huntington's disease. But, yeah, total loss of the striatum (like a stroke) would give you parkinson type symptoms, not hemiballismus or chorea.

cool.. this is really educative.. i love medicine

very educative, thank you!

thank you for the video

I think I have something similar to this. But in my hand and forearm, i just slighty flex my forearm and wrist muscles, it makes it so i can not type with my left hand

@humtoharhou STN. Wouldn't a lesion in the striatum (putamen + caudate) also inactivate the direct pathway, leading to decreased movement (countering the increased input to the thalamus from the indirect pathway, post-STN lesion)? I thought it was just STN in hemiballismus.

thanks for this video

Decreased suppression of undesired movements the subthalmic nucleus.

Thank you

thanks for med

thank you

I am diagnosed just recently by a Doctor from Philippines with hemiballismus disorder. My health was perfect until Nov 01, 1998 when I had a car accident then and my life changed to the worst path of life. Many seizures,heart attack,gran mall seizure and goes on for 8 years. I did an operation to improve my life before. Just two months ago I diagnosed with hemiballismus disorder . Now who is right and who going to have a better future or worst? What kind of medications will help?

Why is not rubral tremor?

Thankyou

is this DRPLA?

C/L subthalamic lesion

I think
