Abstract
Complex movement disorders (CMD including tremor, dystonias. choreoatheosis , and myoclonus) following infarcts in the posterior and posterolateral tha lamic nuclei have been reported. This case of a 59-year-old man who develop ed CMD following bilateral paramedian and bilateral cerebellar infarcts ill ustrates the lack of anatomic specificity and the diverse pathophysiology w hich may underlie CMD.
