EXAMINATION GENERAL EXAMINATION On examination patient is conscious, co- operative, moderately built and nourished. No pallor, icterus, clubbing, cyanosis, lymphadenopathy or oedema Vitals are normal

Investigation : 1.Blood: Hb :12 mg/dl RBS :105 mg/dl Urea :34 mg/dl S.Creatine :1.7 mg/dl TLC :8500 cells/Cu mm DLC & ESR : Normal 2.CT SCAN An infarct in subthalamic nucleus on right side

DIAGNOSIS HEMI BALLISMUS- Secondary to stroke Treatment given : Oleanzepine Condition at discharge Results awaited in the female Completely cured in the male

BALLISM Is a form of forcefull,flinging,high-amplitude, coarse choreic movements of the proximal parts of limb The involuntary movement usually affect only one side of the body-which is termed as hemiballism Occures due to a lesion in the contralateral subthalamic nucleus or its connections or of multiple small infarcts in the contralateral striatum

AETIOLOGY 1.Stroke-is the most common cause (ischaemic and haemorrhagic shock) 2.Tumours,Abcesses,encephalitis,vasculitis 3.Less common causes are Arterio-venous malformation Hyper osmotic hyper glycemia Multiple sclerosis SLE and tuberculous sclerosis Basal ganglia calcification Non-ketotic hyper glycemia

TREATMENT 1)Dopamine-receptor blocking drugs- Haloperidol,chlorpromazine,pimozide and atypical neuroleptics-have been used most frequently 2)Dopamine depleting drugs-reserpine, tetrabenazine Tardive dyskinesia-induced by chronic anti dopaminergic treatment 3)Other drugs-sodium valproate,clonazepam 4)Ventrolateral thalamotomy &other steriotactic surgeries
