Abstract
In six patients with CT evidence of posterior thalamic hemorrhage, we found the following signs: saccadic hypometria away from the lesion; defective pursuit toward the lesion with corresponding opticokinetic abnormalities; mild ipsilateral ptosis; ipsilateral miosis; unilateral sensory neglect; and sensorimotor hemiparesis. This distinct syndrome has a benign course and satisfactory recovery. It differs from the classic picture of thalamic hemorrhage, and can be called "the syndrome of posterior thalamic hemorrhage."
