Case of a man who shaved only on right side of face
1. 70-year-old man was brought to OPD three months ago by his son, with a complaint that he had stopped shaving on left side of face for one week. He was also not using his left hand even though he had no weakness in that hand.

2. This abnormal "behavior" started all of a sudden.
When his family members pointed this oddity, he retorted by saying, the left side of face did not belong to him.
Even when he was presented with water or tea from left side, he would stretch his right hand to receive them.

3. Family members were taken aback by his "odd behavior" and decided to seek medical opinion.
His BP was 170/110 mmHg and blood sugar was normal.
He had no known medical illness. #MedTwitter #neurotwitter
