Özet
Hysterical paralysis, a type of conversion disorder, presents with the loss of motor or sensory function. Although this disorder is nonorganic, it resembles the symptoms of a structural disease of the nervous system. It is generally associated with a traumatic or social event. The patients often require excessive testing and comprehensive assessment in exposing this psychogenic ailment. We reported the most dramatic type of conversion disorder, hysterical paralysis, in which full recovery was obtained with early recognition and rehabilitation approach including faradic stimulation.
