The role of acute inpatient rehabilitation is pivotal in the treatment of functional neurological disorders, offering a multidisciplinary approach to a condition often challenging to diagnose and manage. This case report discusses a 44-year-old right-handed male with complex past medical histories of Bell's palsy, cholesteatomas, hearing impairment, coronary artery disease, cavernoma, hypertriglyceridemia, glaucoma, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, parotitis, psoriasis, seizure, and tremors transferred to our rehabilitation service with presented functional neurological disorder symptoms. The patient's treatment emphasized an acute comprehensive rehabilitative intervention with psychobehavioral approaches, focusing on both physical symptoms and psychological aspects of the condition. This case illustrates the effectiveness of acute rehabilitative care in functional neurological disorders, highlighting the significance of early intervention and a holistic treatment approach in improving prognosis and overall quality of life for patients with functional neurological disorders.
