Twenty patients suffering from ataxic hemiparesis caused by lacunar infarcts were studied using computerized tomography. Supratentorial lesions were found in nineteen patients (95%) while subtentorial lesion was found in only one patient (5%). In all cases the lesions were localized along the corticopontine pathways, making the hypothesis of injury to this pathway the most valid explanation of ataxia.
