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.
