The authors report the clinical course and neuropathological findings in the case of hemiballismus due to leukemic infiltration of the subthalamic nucleus. The symptoms were observed in a 19-year-old patient with blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia, two weeks before death, when what is called the "critical point" developed (white cell count beyond 100 G/l and thrombocytopenia less than 50 G/l). The investigation are considered to confirm the role of the "critical point" in the development of central nervous system leukemic complications.
作者报告了因丘脑底核白血病浸润导致偏身投掷症的临床病程及神经病理学发现。症状出现在一名19岁慢性粒细胞白血病急变期患者身上，在其死亡前两周，出现了所谓的“临界点”（白细胞计数超过100 G/l且血小板减少低于50 G/l）。这些研究被认为证实了“临界点”在中枢神经系统白血病并发症发生中的作用。
