Sensory Loss

Thalamic Syndrome
May occur as the patient is recovering
from a thalamic infarct
spontaneous pain which is often excessive
and unpleasant occurs on the opposite side
of the body
painful sensation may be aroused by light
touch or cold
may fail to respond to powerful analgesic

behavioral changes:
- absence of emotional response to fear, rage
and aggression cease to exist
- compulsion to be overly attentive, to all
sensory stimuli
- hypersexuality
- psychic blindness or visual agnosia
- damage to amygdaloid nucleus
