Abstract

We report the case of a patient presenting with an akineto-rigid syndrome of the left hemibody whose etiological exploration by magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of a cavernoma located in the right lenticular region. The interest of this situation is to establish if there is a pathophysiological link between such symptoms and the lesion revealed by the MRI.
