Acta Inform Med 20:106-112, Amin, O.S.M.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Striatocapsular infarction in Iraqi Kurdish patients was more common in females and at the right lenticular nucleus. Hypertension, smoking, and hypercholesterolemia were the commonest risk factors. Dense hemiplegia was the commonest presentation; the functional outcome was poor in the majority. After 3 months of the ischemic event, involuntary movements and dystonia were not seen, and Parkinsonism was found in one patient only.
