Capsular stroke as a cause of hemiplegia in infancy.
Small, deep lesions of the internal capsule are an uncommon cause of infantile hemiplegia. We report the clinical and radiographic findings of three children with hemiplegia with capsular lesions. Although the etiology of capsular stroke in these children remains uncertain, neither hypertension, coagulopathy, nor vascular malformation was an important factor.
