Abstract
Case reports illustrating the clinical syndrome of a pure hemisensory stroke involving the face, arm, and leg on one side have been presented. From the single pathological study it is inferred that the responsible lesion lies in the thalamus and is the result of thrombotic occlusion of a penetrating artery on the basis of hypertension and atherosclerosis. The syndrome is benign and, as a rule, neither anticoagulants nor arteriography are indicated.
