[A case of cerebral pedunclar infarction presenting with pure motor hemiparesis].
Left pure motor hemiparesis occurred in a 42-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The left hemiparesis affected the arm and leg equally. The face was almost spared, with only a very slight facial asymmetry. Brain CT and MRI showed a small infarction located in the external 2/3 of the right cerebral peduncle. Cerebral angiography did not reveal significant abnormalities.
