[Palilalia due to thalamic infarctions].
A 45-years-old woman developed palilalia without other neurologic symptoms or signs. Cranial MR and CT scan showed only bilateral thalamic infarcts; the SPECT showed bilateral frontoparietal hypoactivity. We conclude that involvement of the supplementary motor area by diaschisis after bilateral thalamic lesions may produce palilalia.
