Figure

  • Fig. 1 Brain and cervical MRI of the patient revealed no responsible lesion for hemidystonia-parkinsonism. A and B: Mild cerebral ischemia in periventricular white matter with multifocal leukoaraiosis is evident. However, no hemispheric atrophy or any lesion in the basal ganglia or brainstem is observed. C: Sagittal cervical MRI shows mild cervical disc herniation at the C5 and C6 level, without any cervical myelopathy or root compression. MRI: magnetic resonance imaging.
