Abstract
Eighteen cases of unilateral asterixis were studied. A good correlation was found between the presence of unilateral asterixis and structural intracranial disease. For this reason, unilateral asterixis is a valuable sign when found on the neurological examination. It is not helpful in localizing intracranial pathology or in determining etiology.
