Abstract:
We report an acute right-sided functional hemiballistic syndrome of the upper and lower limb combined with functional choreatic symptoms of the right forearm and hand of an 59 year old drummer. After a wide range of diagnostic procedures, no somatic reasons could be delineated. Finally a lifetime associated syndrome could be elucidated. We therefore reviewed possible diagnostic and methodical neurological and psychosomatic aspects of functional hemiballism.
