Absence of Neurobehavioral Disturbance in a Focal Lesion of the Left Paracentral Lobule

Absence of Neurobehavioral Disturbance in a Focal Lesion of the Left Paracentral Lobule

The case of a right-handed woman with an infarcation confined to the left paracentral lobule and sparing the supplementary motor area (SMA) is reported. She presented with a right leg monoplegia and displayed no mutism. The absence of any associated neurobehavioral disturbances (mutism, forced grasp...
