Alien hand syndrome is usually secondary to either a corpus callosum lesion alone or in combination with a lesion in left, right or both medial frontal areas. Alien hand syndrome with non-dominant parietal lesions without callosal involvement has been rarely described. We report here a case of a 64-yr-old man who presented with alien hand syndrome accompanying hemispatial neglect and who was diagnosed with idiopathic hypertrophic pachymeningitis involving the right parietal cortex with the preservation of the corpus callosum.
Key Words: Alien hand Syndrome, Neglect, Pachymeningitis
