A case is reported of a 56-year-old psychotically depressed woman with severe vascular disease who suffered a transient hemiparesis after her third ECT. Her neurological picture cleared almost completely, and she later received 11 further ECTs with a good remission of her psychosis. No further neurological sequelae were noted, and she is well 9 months after discharge.
