There have been few described cases of hemiplegia with involntary elevation of paralyzed arms while yawning, symptoms eferred to as parakinesia brachialis oscitans [1–4]. Brain imagng shows that lesions in the internal capsule or basal ganglia are ainly associated with this movement [1–4]. We report a patient f parakinesia brachialis oscitans after acute infarction involving he right motor cortex and frontal subcortex.
