I. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS Historical Development of Hemiballism. —"Hemiballism" became associated with pathologic changes in the subthalamic nucleus (nucleus hypothalamicus; corpus Luysi) during the decade following 1920 (Jakob,1Martin,2von Santha3and Matzdorff4). That involuntary movements sometimes appeared after lesions localized in various parts of the brain had long been known. Weir Mitchell5and Charcot6recognized their frequent unilateral occurrence after apoplexies with the terms "posthemiplegic chorea" and "hemichorea." These terms, with the earlier contribution of "athetosis" by Hammond,7generally sufficed to distinguish the types of movements encountered.8 In the German literature, the flinging or throwing of the limbs arising from violent involvement of proximal musculature was described under the term "hemiballismus." Thus, Greidenberg9commented: The most frequent form of posthemiplegic motor disturbance, and hence the most adequately investigated, is without doubt hemichorea (posthemiplegic or postapoplectic hemichorea,hemichoree posthemiplegique[Charcot], hemikinesia [Hughlings
