Abstract

A Stroke Chameleon Presenting as Alien Hand Syndrome

Stroke chameleons are uncommon presentations of stroke that resemble other clinical diagnoses. A 70-year-old righthanded man presented to the movement disorders clinic reporting that his left arm was jumping all over the place. The involuntary movements gradually settled over the following weeks and he was left with a numb sensation on the left side of the neck, left arm and trunk.
