Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterised by abnormal episodic brief movements induced by sudden movements of the body. The recognition and understanding of this disorder has increased over the past few decades. While most cases are idiopathic, the association of PKD with various disorders, including metabolic abnormalities has also been reported. We report an interesting case of a 52 year old male who presented with PKD manifesting as subtle facio-brachial movements and apraxia of eyelid opening (ALO) secondary toidiopathic hypoparathyroidism.
发作性运动诱发性运动障碍(PKD)是一种罕见的神经系统疾病,其特征是身体突然运动诱发异常的发作性短暂运动。在过去几十年中,对这种疾病的认识和理解有所增加。虽然大多数病例是特发性的,但也有报道称PKD与包括代谢异常在内的各种疾病有关。我们报告了一例有趣的病例,一名52岁男性,患有PKD,表现为轻微的面臂运动和继发于特发性甲状旁腺功能减退的眼睑开合失用症(ALO)。
