We read with interest the comments of Prof. Garraux on our recent case report describing a 71-year-old woman presenting with right-sided hemidystonia following an ischemic stroke. The initial title of our paper was: ‘‘Hemidystonia caused by a frontoparietal cortical infarction’’. However, we now receive the comment that according to the published computed tomography axial images of the brain, the causal lesion is located in the postcentral gyrus of the left parietal lobe. Indeed, we must agree that the lesion shown in image 1A of the manuscript is located in the left postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe. Compliance with ethical standards
