We report the case of a 27-year-old women who has had mirror movements in both hands since childhood. These synkinetic involuntary movements impaired her performance in bimanual activities such as buttoning clothes, typing shoes, and washing dishes. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging disclosed only mild diffuse cortical atrophy. Although congenital mirror movements have been well-documented in the English literature, we herein report the first case of a Chinese patient in Taiwan.
