title: Man-in-the-barrel syndrome associated with closed head injury.
abstract: A patient who sustained closed head injury demonstrated brachial diplegia and intact leg strength, a case of man-in-the-barrel syndrome. Extensive hemorrhagic contusion was seen in the inferior frontal lobes bilaterally. Although aptly descriptive, the syndrome is neither predictive of an exact anatomical substrate nor representative of a specific etiology.
