A medical student here. I'm currently learning about lesions of the basal ganglia, one of which is the subthalamic nucleus. A lesion in the subthalamic nucleus usually causes hemiballismus. Thank you so much for posting this as it helps me understand the clinical signs more. Hope you get well 🙏
Thank you for posting this. It is a very sad condition, indeed, but your post has made it so that I will never forget what it looks like to have hemiballismus.
Caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, or subthalamic nucleus - usually asymptomatic but may cause hemiballismus. This is called the basal ganglia lacune. possible vessels involved during stroke that causes this syndrome: lenticulostriate (from MCA), anterior choroidal (from ICA), thalamoperforator (from PCA) or Heubner's arteries (from ACA).
My Salute to You Great Lady, May The God Almighty, The One And Only, Help You & Be With You, Bless You with his Blessings. The Video was helpful to understand the Clinical condition of this Disease, it would help us alot to decrease sufferings of others.
@dska22 What you wrote is my understanding as well...unless humtoharhou was thinking of a more subtle lesion of the striatum, like the loss of medium spiny neurons that you see in Huntington's disease. But, yeah, total loss of the striatum (like a stroke) would give you parkinson type symptoms, not hemiballismus or chorea.
I think I have something similar to this. But in my hand and forearm, i just slighty flex my forearm and wrist muscles, it makes it so i can not type with my left hand
@humtoharhou STN. Wouldn't a lesion in the striatum (putamen + caudate) also inactivate the direct pathway, leading to decreased movement (countering the increased input to the thalamus from the indirect pathway, post-STN lesion)? I thought it was just STN in hemiballismus.
I am diagnosed just recently by a Doctor from Philippines with hemiballismus disorder. My health was perfect until Nov 01, 1998 when I had a car accident then and my life changed to the worst path of life. Many seizures,heart attack,gran mall seizure and goes on for 8 years. I did an operation to improve my life before. Just two months ago I diagnosed with hemiballismus disorder . Now who is right and who going to have a better future or worst? What kind of medications will help?
from a medical student: thank you so much it helped me and i hope you get well
Thank you so much for posting this! This is really helpful to medical students! Much love to the patient and physician.

Subthalamic nucleus, symptoms contralateral to lesion. Symptoms decrease with sleep. Treatment: antidopaminergics e.g haloperidol
Thank you to the patient for having the courage and generosity to educate us.Greetings a medical student.

As a medical student thank you to the doctor and patient for teaching us and helping us learn, God bless you,

Thank you so much for the video and to the patient. It's after a decade now but I hope you are better now.
Thank you so much for sharing, may the patient get well soon!
May God bless you. Thank you so much for this.
I agree, damage to the R Subthalamic nucleaus would release inhibition on motor cortex giving these symptoms on the left side. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your help
Thank you very much for sharing! Wish you well!
Thank you so much ..
Thank you! a really useful video!
Pobre mujer..
Gracias por el aporte!

i hope you are feeling better :)
I hope that too😓
Decreased suppression of undesired movements the subthalmic nucleus.
cool.. this is really educative.. i love medicine
Poor lady, looks like this is making her pretty miserable. Apart from some stuff mentioned below hypocalcaemia can also cause this.
0L1dO6 hmm hemiballismus and hypocalcaemia? Never heard. Have u got some source? I will appreciate it. Its never too late to learn new stuff :-)
thank you for the video
very educative, thank you!
Why is not rubral tremor?
thanks for this video
Thankyou
Thank you
thank you
thanks for med
is this DRPLA?
I think
C/L subthalamic lesion
