A Curious Case of a Child With Recurrent Twisting Movements of Limbs.
Curēus 2023 July
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is characterized by recurrent attacks of abnormal involuntary movements that are triggered by sudden movement, intention to move, or acceleration. A 10-year-old boy presented with paroxysmal, involuntary twisting movements of the left upper and lower limbs, precipitated by sudden body movements, lasting for 10-15 seconds and subsiding spontaneously. On examination, choreiform movements were observed, which were precipitated by sudden movements during some activities. The patient responded to carbamazepine with complete subsidence of the movements. The diagnosis of PKD was further confirmed by genetic testing. A high suspicion index helps in the prompt and early diagnosis of this rare entity.
