Limb shaking is an uncommon manifestation of transient ischemic attack, and there have been reports of limb shaking attacks due to internal carotid artery stenosis or occlusion. However, an occlusion of the middle cerebral artery has been rarely reported as a cause of limb shaking. We report a 51-year-old man with occlusion of the middle cerebral artery who developed attacks of limb shaking. The involuntary movements disappeared after superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery. We conclude that middle cerebral artery occlusion may present as limb shaking transient ischemic attacks. Korean Journal of Stroke 2002;4(2):142~146
