title: Contralateral hyperhidrosis in anterior thalamic infarction.
abstract: A 62-year-old male complained of contralateral hyperhidrosis following an anterior thalamic infarction without the presence of a hypothalamic lesion. We speculated that the thalamus could share sudomotor fiber components in the crossed contralateral inhibitory sweating pathway.
