The authors report a case of ataxic hemiparesis (dysarthria-clumsy hand syndrome plus crural hemiparesis with homolateral ataxia), secondary to a single cerebellar lacuna (CT scan), in a left rostral para-vermian position in the vicinity of the peduncle and secondary to arterial hypertension. They discuss the nosological aspects of this recently established entity and the origin of particularly severe and persistent dysphagia in their case (cerebellar dysphagia?)
