For about a year, a 37-year-old teacher from Saudi Arabia had muscle contractions at the back of his head that he could not control. The contractions made both of his outer ears move. The right ear moved more often and more forcefully than the left, and the two sides did not move in sync.
Two family physicians at Rosedale Medical Center in Toronto, Mohammed Azzahrani and Abeer Algasim, described the case as ear dyskinesia, a rare movement disorder also called moving ear syndrome. Their report appeared in Cureus on July 1, 2024.
