ABSTRACT
@#Pusher syndrome is a neurological disorder where the patient actively pushes away from the non-hemiparetic side following brain damage. We experienced a case in whom intractable pusher syndrome associated with thalamic hemorrhage improved following a newly developed pontine infarction. A 63-year-old man showed severe pusher syndrome after an initial thalamic hemorrhage. After approximately 2 years, a pontine infarction developed and improved the persistent pusher syndrome. We postulate that it resulted from involvement of the medial lemniscus with interruption of the distorted upward proprioceptive signal of body orientation.
