The concept of a @entity13299 (such as @entity912 ) has always been controversial ( @entity7277 , M.A. (1996). Somatization and conversion disorders. In: B.S. Fogel, R.B. Schiffer _ S.M. Rao (Eds.), @entity3297 and Wilkins, Baltimore, @entity601 ). Although the diagnosis is recognised by current @entity146 taxonomies, many physicians still regard such disorders either as feigned or as failure to find the responsible organic cause for the @entity1 's symptoms. We report a @entity1 with left sided @entity912 (and without @entity393 ) in whom no @entity347 or structural lesion could be found. By contrast, psychological @entity130 was associated with the onset and recurrent exacerbation of her hemiparalysis. We recorded brain activity when the @entity1 prepared to move and tried to move her paralysed (left) leg and when she prepared to move and did move her good (right) leg. Preparing to move or moving her good leg, and also preparing to move her paralysed leg, activated motor and/or premotor areas previously described with movement preparation and execution. The attempt to move the paralysed leg failed to activate right primary motor cortex. Instead, the right orbito-frontal and right anterior cingulate cortex were significantly activated. We suggest that these two areas inhibit prefrontal (willed) effects on the right primary motor cortex when the @entity1 tries to move her left leg.
