Hemichorea-hemiballism (HC-HB) is classically associated with stroke lesions in the STN. 1–3 A large clinical study reported that some other lesions in the basal ganglia, such as in the caudate and putamen, may also cause HC-HB, 4 which is seldom the result of a cortical infarction. We observed transient HC-HB in a patient with a cerebral infarction in the temporal-parietal lobe without any lesions in the basal ganglia including the STN after intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) administration.A 72-year-old right-handed female, who had neither a history of diabetes mellitus nor dopaminergic medication use, was admitted to our hospital because of sudden-onset leftsided hemiparesis. Neurological examination revealed spatial disorientation, conjugate eye deviation to the right, and dysarthria. She had left-sided hemiparesis and sensory disturbance of all modalities. Deep tendon reflexes were exaggerated in the affected limbs. The plantar response was bilaterally flexor. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was 19 points on admission. Blood sample tests were normal except for elevations of brain natriuretic peptide (717 pg/mL) and D-dimer (10.3 μg/mL). Thyroid function was normal, and hyperglycemia was ruled out. Brain MRIs showed acute cerebral infarction in the right temporal-parietal lobe perfused by the middle cerebral artery (MCA; Fig. 1A, B). Electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation. The patient was diagnosed as having cardioembolic infarction, and rtPA was administered within 3 hours after onset of symptoms. Nine hours later, her hemiparesis was improved significantly, which was reflected in the NIHSS score of 8 points (11-point decrease). Subsequent to motor improvement, the left hand started to show choreic movements, such as stereotypic pronation and supination, which progressed into ballistic arm movements in a day’s time. Eventually, the left-lower extremity was also involved, confirming HC-HB syndrome (Video 1). Subsequent brain MRIs
