Abstract

Unilateral neural insult may occasionally lead to chronic symptoms (e.g., pain, edema) not only at the site of the insult but also at the corresponding "mirror image" contralateral site. Mirror-symptoms are poorly understood and often go unrecognized, or are attributed to altered patterns of use. A case/discussion involving mirror symptoms is presented.
