Transient unilateral catalepsy and right parietal damage.
We describe the appearance of transient catalepsy of the left upper extremity in a patient without previous psychiatric illness after a right parietal subcortical hemorrhage. This case, and five other available cases in the relevant literature, demonstrates that catalepsy can be produced by right parietal damage.
