Sensory stroke is caused in 5–7%of cases of a lacunar infarct. The term lacuna is used to describe a small infarct or a small cavity in the brain tissue that develops after the necrotic tissue of a deep infarct is resorbed. A lacuna is attributed to a arterial insufficiency in the distribution of a penetrating branch of a large cerebral artery. Well defined clinical syndromes with dicrete areas of infarctions are known to occur. Here I report a case of a 60 years old female who presented with tingling sensation and pain in the right half of the body. On investigation and doing CECT brain, she was found to have a lacunar infarct in the left thalamus region. She was started on treatment and was put on teicyclic antidepressants in addition to other treatment, to which she responded.
