title: Monochorea caused by a striatal lesion.
abstract: A 76-year-old man developed choreic movement restricted to the arm. Computed tomography suggested an old infarction mainly involving the head of the right caudate nucleus. Monochorea may indicate a striatal lesion and suggests the somatotopic localization.
