ABSTRACT
A 57-year-old man was admitted because of left hemiparesis. A magnetic resonance imaging scan of the brain revealed a recent infarct from the dorsal side of the right putamen to the corona radiata. Three hours after onset, he complained of rotational vertigo. Truncal ataxia was also found on standing a few days later, which persisted until the chronic phase. Repeat magnetic resonance imaging scans on days 2 and 11 revealed no additional lesions. The present case indicates that rotational vertigo might result from a small, supratentorial, subcortical lesion.
