title: Neuroimaging of bilateral caudate infarction manifesting as Parkinsonian gait disorder.
abstract: Neurobehavioral changes characterize the clinical presentation of bilateral caudate infarction. We describe an 82-year-old man who presented with a Parkinsonian gait disorder in the absence of behavioral abnormality whose diffusion-weighted imaging demonstrated infarction of the caudate nuclei.
