Abstract
Alternating Hemiplegia is a rare childhood disease, characterized by the hemiplegia and dystonic attacks especially on the upper extremities. A 15 month-old male patient had been admitted for the first time for left arm plegia at the age of eleven months. 3 days later his complaints had disappeared. But, as the same attacks on both upper extremities had recurred, the patient was diagnosed as alternating hemiplegia.
