- Abstract
The bobble head doll syndrome, mainly affecting children under 10 years of age, is a rare and surgically treatable movement disorder characterized by head bobbing occurring at a rate of 2-3 times/s. Its pathophysiological mechanism is not well known but two main factors are commonly associated with the condition: a dilatation of the third ventricle and, more frequently, a cystic lesion rather than a solid mass in the region of the third ventricle.
