Abstract:
The paroxysmal kinesigenic chereoathetosis is characterized by choreoathetotic, dystonic movements induced by sudden movements without loss of consciousness, urinary incontinence and clonic movement. These attacks begin in childhood. The effect of anticonvulsants is usually excellent. We report one case of paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis.
