What is infarction of the right basal ganglia?
Basal ganglia are deep structures within the brain that regulate the initiation and control of movement. Parkinson’s disease, where people are much slowed, is a problem with basal ganglia. As stated above “infarction of the right basal ganglia” means a stroke to that part of the brain. Hope that helps a bit, but do discuss this further with a neurologist who should be treating the person with the infarction.
