Abstract :
Somatotopic distribution of motor cortex and sensory fibers is theoretically fully understood. We
present a case of stroke, mimicking peripheral palsy, with finger paralysis attributed to cortical
lesion. The patient’s brain MRI may be useful to further understand the somatotopic representation
of fingers in precentral and postcentral gyrus.
