Abstract
Author(s): Sanjith Aaron; Amal Al Hashmi Introduction Abnormal and often bizarre involuntary movements can occur in the acute or late setting of an ischaemic stroke. Clinicians need to be aware [...]
In stroke patients, involuntary movements can occur both in the acute and chronic phase. Here, we describe one such involuntary movement consistent with the rare phenomenon of parakinesia brachialis oscitans (PBO). PBO has been reported in ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes involving the anterior circulation; however, this is only the second time this phenomenon is being reported in posterior circulation stroke in the English literature. Keywords: Parakinesia brachialis oscitans, Involuntary movement, Yawning
