Abstract
Abstract:
Mirror movement is an interesting but often overlooked neurological soft sign;
these movements are described as simultaneous contralateral, involuntary,
identical movements that accompany voluntary movements. This neurologic
problem is very rarely seen in children; in familial cases there is a positive
history of these movements in parents, diminishing with time. Here, we have
presented the case of an 11-year old girl with mirror movements in her upper
limbs which interfered with her hand writing. Her neurological examination
revealed normal results. In this report, we have tried to explain some of the
pathophysiologic mechanisms related to these abnormal movements.
