book describes Alien Hand Syndrome, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases<br />Alien hand syndrome (Dr Strangelove Syndrome) is a rare neurological disorder that causes one hand to act on its own free will.<br />Sometimes one leg is affected, though this is not as frequent.<br />With alien hand syndrome, the hand is not under the control of the mind and moves as though it has its own mind.<br />The affected hand feels alien to its owner during these events and seems to move purposefully to carry out tasks that are not intentional.<br />Alien hand is an infrequently diagnosed disorder after brain illness that affects complicated, goal-directed movement of one hand for which the patient lacks conscious intention<br />While it can affect children, normally alien hand occurs in adults.<br />It is sometimes referred to as Dr. Strangelove syndrome from the movie Dr Strangelove who potray the alien hand syndrome.<br />Causes<br />Alien hand syndrome can be caused by several factors.<br />Some people form alien hand syndrome after a stroke, trauma, or tumor.<br />It is occasionally linked with cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and brain aneurysms.<br />Alien hand syndrome is linked to brain surgeries that divide the two hemispheres of the brain.<br />This may require an incision along the corpus callosum.<br />The corpus callosum divides the brain hemispheres and permits for communication between the two sides.<br />Surgeries to treat epilepsy occasionally involve the brain in this way.<br />With distinctively abnormal medical symptoms, alien hand syndrome may be produced by a number of causes of cerebral injury and more than one specific area of cerebral damage.<br />Besides the corpus callosum, other regions of the brain linked with alien hand syndrome are:</p><ol><li>Brain lesions in alien hand syndrome</li><li>Generally, it would make sense for visual, sensory, or motor dissociation such as hemi-agnosia to be linked with alien hand syndrome.<br />Symptoms<br />The most main symptom of alien hand syndrome is the inability to control the hand as it acts independently.<br />The involved hand may move against the owners will and do goal-focused tasks and actions.<br />The hand is said to shift without cognitive control or awareness.<br />It is as though it is being regulated by someone else or has a mind of its own.<br />The hand may touch the face, button a shirt, or pick up an object, occasionally repeatedly or compulsively.<br />The alien hand may also ascend on its own.<br />The hand may also take on in self-oppositional actions such as closing a drawer that the other hand just opened or unbuttoning a shirt that the patient just buttoned.<br />Diagnosis<br />A doctor may diagnose alien hand syndrome through surveillance and assessment.<br />Diagnosis of alien hand syndrome is complicated because it is a neurological disorder that lacks a psychiatric component.<br />Treatment<br />There is no cure for alien hand syndrome.<br />Treatments and medicinal choices for alien hand syndrome help to diminish symptoms.<br />People with alien hand syndrome after brain illness or a stroke may recover after some time.<br />The resolution is less effective for people with neurodegenerative diseases.<br />The disorder may be managed using muscle control treatments such as botulinum toxin and neuromuscular blocking agents.<br />Benzodiazepines have been successful in some cases, but behavioral methods appear to be more beneficial.<br />Mirror box treatment, cognitive therapy methods, and learning task behavioral treatments can help control symptoms.<br />Visuospatial coaching methods may also assist.<br />Occasionally the patient will try to restrain their alien hand by holding it under between their legs or sitting on it.<br />Some people may find that it is useful to hold an object in the alien hand to prevent it from doing tasks.</li></ol><p>TABLE OF CONTENT<br />Introduction<br />Chapter
