一名72岁的男性突然出现步态困难。当他开始用右脚走路时，他的步态显得僵硬。当他按照指示用左脚开始行走并使用手杖提供的视觉提示时，步态冻结得到改善。磁共振成像显示选择性病变在左侧胼胝体。我们推测步态冻结是由胼胝体病变引起的。这一病例表明，白质通路在步态冻结的发展中至关重要。
72-year-old man experienced a sudden onset of gait difficulty. He showed freezing of gait when he began walking with the right foot. When he followed an instruction to begin walking with the left foot and used visual cueing provided by a walking stick, an improvement in the freezing of gait was accomplished. Magnetic resonance imaging showed selective lesions in the left genu of the corpus callosum. We inferred that the freezing of gait was caused by the callosal lesions. This case implies that the white-matter pathways are critical in the development of freezing of gait.
