MEMIPLEGIA is the paralysis of one half of the body including lower half of the face, upper and lower extremities due to opposite sided pyramidal lesion. When the face is affected the hemiplegia is called complete and when the face is unaffected it is called incomplete hemiplegia. In such cases of incomplete hemiplegia, lesion is usually located below the level of pons.
