Hemiplegia Cross

Crossed hemiplegia is a unilateral lesion of the cerebellum and pons, caused by volumetric damage to these structures, most often occurring after an ischemic stroke. For this form of paralysis, "Hemiplegia" is observed (semi-paralysis, when the arm and leg are affected on one side of the body). In some cases, hemiparesis is a consequence of trauma, and in patients with vascular pathology, “cerebellar syndrome” manifests itself predominantly. The Wernicke-Mann position prevails in the clinic (the patient sits down on a chair only with outside support). There is asymmetry of muscle tone and reflexes, and the presence of pathological foot signs.

Hemiplegia crossed is a syndrome characterized by hemiparesis of the contralateral paretic arm and the opposite hemitonia. The onset of the disease is predominantly in postmenopausal women. The severity of the disorders can be significant, but the disease itself is quite sluggish.
