Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis is decreased metabolism in a cerebellar hemisphere contralateral to a cerebral hemispheric lesion. Lesions located in the motor cortex, anterior corona radiata, and thalamus lead to the most prominent suppression of metabolism in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere.
