%X Alien limb phenomenon occurs in 50¨C60% of patients with corticobasal syndrome (CBS) and usually presents with an ¡°alien hand¡± phenomenon. The ¡°alien foot¡± presentation is rarer and may be misdiagnosed, as foot involvement can lead to erroneous localization of the clinical problem to the knee, hip, or back. Subsequently misdiagnoses such as myelopathy, radiculopathy, functional disorder, stiff leg syndrome, neuromyotonia, and painful leg moving toes syndrome may occur
