Ataxic Hemiparesis,Critical Appraisal of a Lacunar Syndrome
Stroke 29:2549-2555, Gorman,M. J.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Ataxic hemiparesis is a distinct clinical syndrome that accurately predicts a small deep infarction, most commonly in the pons or internal capsule. Only sensory loss accurately predicts a capsular localization. Etiology in nearly half of the cases can be attributed to small-vessel disease. Furthermore, ataxic hemiparesis appears to be a good marker for generalized asymptomatic cerebrovascular disease.
