Angioplasty of middle cerebral artery stenosis improves recurrent hemichorea caused by basal ganglia hypoperfusion.
We report a case of intermittent hemichorea associated with severe stenosis in the proximal M1 portion of the middle cerebral artery. The movements disappeared after transluminal angioplasty and stenting with restoration of perfusion in the basal ganglia.
