Transient involuntary movement of the leg (monoballismus) during cerebral angiography

M Komiyama, T Yasui and T Izumi
Department of Neurosurgery, Osaka City (Japan) General Hospital, Japan.

Transient involuntary movement of the leg developed during diagnostic or therapeutic angiography in five patients. The movement was jerky, brisk flexion/extension of the hip and knee joints on the side contralateral to acute ischemia. This movement may occur as a result of thromboembolic cerebral ischemia or as an ischemic complication of angiography.
