Atypical manifestations include hyperkinetic movements, noted as extremely rare. We report a case about a patient with 2-months-long complaints of Uncontrollable movements in his right side of the body subsided after carotid revascularization. Case presentation: A 71-year-old male was admitted to Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital with the main complaints of 2-months-long uncontrollable movements in his right hand and his right leg. When performing coordination tasks, slight inaccuracy was noted with the right-side extremities. Hyperkinetic movements\u2014choreoathetosis in the right side of the patient\u2019s face, arm, and leg\u2014were seen. Computed tomography angiography revealed subocclusion in the proximal segment of the left internal carotid artery and 30% stenosis in the proximal segment of the right internal carotid artery. The patient was consulted by a vascular surgeon. Eversion endarterectomy of the left internal carotid artery was performed. The early postoperative period occurred without complications. The patient was discharged from the hospital 2 days after the surgery in good overall health condition. Two months later, choreoathetotic movements in his right side of the body had markedly decreased. No focal neurologic deficits were noted. Conclusions: Revascularization may be effective by eliminating emboli and stenosis, leading to hypoperfusion in watershed territories. A case of a 71-year-old male patient with the main complaints of 2-months-long uncontrollable movements in his right side of the body subsiding after carotid revascularization was demonstrated. It is vital to recognize atypical manifestations of hypoperfusion, associated with stenosis in internal carotid arteries, to early make a diagnosis, to perform an appropriate treatment, and to reduce the risk of cerebral infarction in the future, resulting in a longer high-quality life for the patient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina58101328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]],"date-time":"2022-09-22T05:33:14Z","timestamp":1663824794000},"page":"1328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Impact of Revascularization in a Patient with Atypical Manifestations of Hypoperfusion"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"58","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4813-9875","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sintija","family":"Strautmane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Residency, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema Iela 16, Riga LV\u20141007, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Pilsonu Iela 13, Riga LV\u20141002, Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zanda","family":"Priede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Pilsonu Iela 13, Riga LV\u20141002, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema Iela 16, Riga LV\u20141007, Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrejs","family":"Millers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Pilsonu Iela 13, Riga LV\u20141002, Latvia"},{"name":"Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery, Riga Stradins University, Dzirciema Iela 16, Riga LV\u20141007, Latvia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"185","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jns.2010.08.068","article-title":"Reversible hemichorea associated with extracranial carotid artery stenosis","volume":"300","author":"Pujadas","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
