We studied three patients with delayed onset of unilateral involuntary movements after recovery from hemiplegia. In all three cases, CT showed low-density striatal changes, compatible with previous cerebral infarction. These changes involved maximally the putamen and to a slightly lesser degree the caudate. Thalamic atrophy was also seen in all three patients.
