Abstract
Hemidystonia, a rare presentation of dystonia, is usually secondary to various insults of the controlateral basal ganglia. The following rep ort describes hemidystonia which occurred at the age of 16 years. Idio pathic atrophy of the controlateral caudate nucleus and putamen seemed to be the only aetiology.
