无政府手综合征（AHS）是一种罕见的疾病，其特征是受影响的上肢不愿意，但似乎有目的的运动，患者认为不受他们的控制。它经常干扰目标导向的运动和双手任务。目前尚无有效的治疗方法。我们在此报告一个额叶肿瘤切除后发生AHS的病例，并描述其对病人功能活动的影响。患者使用回避行为和精神集中来克服AHS的致残作用。这些策略似乎是有用的AHS的管理。
Anarchic hand syndrome (AHS) is a rare disorder characterized by unwilled, but seemingly purposeful movements of the affected upper limb which are perceived by the patients not to be under their control. It often interferes with goal-directed movements and bimanual tasks. At present there is no effective method of treatment of AHS. We report here a case of AHS following resection of a frontal lobe tumor and describe its effects on the patient's functional activities. The patient used avoidance behavior and mental concentration to overcome the disabling effect of AHS. These strategies appear to be useful in the management of AHS.
