| الوصف: | This chapter describes several very rare disorders, both sporadic and familial. The latter provide increasing insights into the genetic basis of movement disorders, which in turn help us gain a better understanding of their pathogenesis. The paroxysmal dyskinesias comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders sharing the paroxysmal occurrence of dyskinesia, which can manifest as choreoathetosis, ballism and dystonia. The history and, in some cases, genetic testing, help to make the diagnosis. Unfortunately, many patients are initially misdiagnosed as having a psychogenic disorder. A diagnostic workup including MRI of the brain is mandatory in sporadic cases. Carbamazepine is the drug of choice for the kinesigenic dyskinesias, and clonazepam for the non-kinesigenic forms. |
