Abstract
Isolated hand weakness due to stroke is rare and is often misdiagnosed as a peripheral lesion. Isolated central hand and finger weakness can present as pseudomedian, pseudoulnar, and/or pseudoradial nerve palsy. Here, we describe a patient who presented with a median claw hand due to cortical infarct.
