Abstract

Hemiparesis is a neurological deficit characterized by partial loss of muscle strength in one half of the body. It has been re-ported that the skin on the hemiparetic side may differ from the normal body region for some reasons, therefore skin diseases may progress differently, and some skin diseases may be seen more frequently or less frequently. However, there is no information in the literature regarding the course of tinea versicolor lesions in these patients. In our article, we present a 52-year-old male patient with tinea versicolor, which is more common on the side with hemiparesis.
