Alien Hand Syndrome, also known as anarchic hand or Dr. Strangelove syndrome, is a disorder in which one hand appears to take on a mind of its own. Alien hand syndrome can be a side-effect of surgery to separate the two hemispheres of the brain to relieve the symptoms of extreme cases of epilepsy, and can also occur after other brain surgery, strokes, or infections.- Category ID : 76369
