Lee and Marsden recently reviewed the reports of abnormal movements associated with focal lesions of the thalamus and subthalamic region.‘ The presence of myoclonic jerks was reported in a single case; however, negative myoclonus or acute asterixis occurred in 13 of 62 cases. They concluded that thalamic lesions, mainly those affecting the ventrolateral thalamus, may cause asterixis.’ Lera et al. documented movement disorders with a complex dystonic pattern, choreic movements, and pseudorhythmic, slow, predominantly distal jerks in patients with lesions of the posterolateral area of the contralateral thalamus.’ Ghika et al. described a syndrome they called “jerky dystonic unsteady hand,” characterized by a delayed display of hyperkinetic features (dystonia, chorea, tremor, and myoclonus), associated with motor and sensory disorders in patients with posterior thalamic i ~ c h e m i a . ~ We report a patient with a hemorrhagic lesion in the region of the posterior thalamic nucleus who developed a delayed form of complex myoclonus in the contralateral upper limb.
