Abstract
A 60 year old patient presented with an acute pseudobulbar palsy assoc iated with trismus. A computed tomography scan revealed low attenuatio n areas consistent with infarction affecting the genu of the internal capsules bilaterally. Trismus has not previously been described as the presenting feature of a pseudobulbar palsy.
