Abstract
The “bobble-head doll syndrome (BHDS)” is a rare and an interesting movement disorder characterized by continuous or episodic forward and backward head nodding at times associated with side to side movements of the head of 2-3 Hz frequency. Although the exact pathogenesis of bobble-head doll syndrome is still unknown, there are many theories as to how and why it does what it does. Most of these theories acknowledge the striking similarity of symptoms between bobble-head doll syndrome and other movement disorders. The main physical symptom of bobble-head doll syndrome is the two to three bobs per second of the head, which can sometimes also include the shoulders and upper torso. Increased in stressful situations whereas they decreased in concentration (e.g. looking at a book). Endoscopic ventriculo cysto cisternostomy, is the optimal treatment option and Ventriculoperitoneal shunt is made to reduce the intracranial pressure caused by the accumulation of CSF in the third ventricle.
