Abstract

Most patients with neurological and psychiatric disorders during childhood make their initial admissions to treatment facilities because of their complaints involving abnormal movements. Mirror movement is a rare condition, that usually involves solely symmetrical hand movements. Main responsibility of the health professional in the face of this situation is to recognize this rare phenomenon, and to evaluate whether other possible comorbid pathological processes exist, or not. With this report, importance of evaluating mirror movement through the clinical presentation of a case was stressed out, along with a review of current relevant literature.
