Although asterixis has been associated with thalamic infarcts in the past, this has not yet been reported in the literature with MRgFUS procedure and is a novel observation. Occupational and physical therapy may be considered to address this side effect. It is important to counsel patients about the rare occurrence of this complication of therapy but also its potential for complete resolution over time.
