Core Tip

Core Tip: Clinical cases describing the coexistence of multiple manifestations secondary to thalamic damage have not been reported. We report a patient who exhibited rare complications secondary to thalamic hemorrhage. Especially, the manifestations including dysphasia, kinetic tremor confined to the left calf, and mirror movement of the left arm are unique and interesting. This case provides new insights into thalamus damage. Hypophonia may be a recognizable clinical sign of thalamus lesions, which could help with lesion localization; thalamus injury could cause tremor confined to the lower extremity and mimicking extremity movements.
