The alien hand syndrome.

The alien hand syndrome. Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2014 Jul;27(3):219-20 Authors: Panikkath R, Panikkath D, Mojumder D, Nugent K Abstract A 77-year-old woman presented with the complaint of observing her left hand moving without her knowledge while watching television. Her left hand stroked her face and hair as if somebody was controlling it. These movements lasted only half an hour but on recovery, she had left hemiparesis. Alien hand syndrome as the presentation of cardioembolic stroke is extremely rare but can be terrifying to patients. PMID: 24982566 [PubMed]
