Abstract
The presence of hemichorea–ballism in patients with cerebral toxoplasmosis is not common. Some studies have reported them as the second most frequent movement disorder after Parkinsonism (1). We present the case of a 28 years old woman with relapse of toxoplasmosis manifested as hemiballismus of the right limbs. Despite the medical treatment, the movement disorder only improved.
