Psychogenic gait disorders can present in many different ways. Among patients with a pure psychogenic gait disorder, buckling of the knee is the most common feature, followed by astasia‐abasia. Here, we describe one such patient with a very unusual gait disturbance that might be regarded as a variant of astasia‐abasia. The patient characteristics are described and discussed in a historical context. © 2007 Movement Disorder Society
