In patients with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND), movement disorders,
including tremor or broken-eye-movement are reported [
[1]
]. However to our knowledge, there are no reports that evaluated details of movement
disorders in HAND. We present a patient with HAND who was evaluated the development
of opsoclonus and hand tremor. After treatment with combined-antiretroviral-therapy,
these symptoms ameliorated and thalamic lesion on MRI disappeared. In addition, increased
cerebellar blood flow was visualized by applying subtraction ictal SPECT co-registered
to MRI (SISCOM) [
