Abstract
A 57-year-old man was admitted to our clinic because of speech and swallowing disorder for six months. Palatal tremor and left upper extremity myorhythmia appeared on examination. Magnetic resonance imaging showed hypertrophic olivary degeneration, dentate pathology, Wallerian degeneration, and left parietal cystic encephalomalacia. Functional magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain showed prominent activation on the bilateral globus pallidus and thalamus. We suggest that involuntary movements were introduced by the nuclei of the basal ganglia as a result of olivary dysinhibition.
