ABSTRACT
We studied the clinical profile and etiology of 28 cases of ataxic hemiparesis. After a detailed neurological examination, CT scan brain (plain and after IV contrast) was done in all. Age ranged from 18 to 80 years. Acute onset of symptoms was in 22, while 6 had insidious onset. 18 patients had major infarct, while 4 patients had lacunar infarct. 2 patients were found to have haematoma (1 following head injury) and 1 each had tuberculoma, meningioma, glioma and toxoplasma granuloma. The lesions were seen in various parts of brain stem, thalamus, basal ganglion, internal capsule and frontal, parietal and temporal region. Heterogeneity as regards to etiology and localisation is being highlighted.
