Alien hand syndrome--those words just jump off the screen. What do they mean? My first guess was, "omg, like lobster-claw hands?" But no, this is cereal:
Alien hand syndrome is a perplexing and uncommon clinical diagnosis. We report an unusual manifestation of alien hand syndrome in a 73-yr-old man with a right anterior cerebral artery infarct affecting the right medial frontal cortex and the anterior portion of the corpus callosum. We conclude that alien hand syndrome should be considered in patients who present with a feeling of alienation of one or both upper limbs accompanied by complex purposeful involuntary movement. - Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, St. Charles Hospital and Rehabilitation Center (BGOH), Port Jefferson, New York, USA.
The implication is thus: Involuntary masturbation as a manifestation of stroke-related alien hand syndrome.
OOPS!
