Tetrabenazine (TBZ) is widely used to treat adults with hyperkinetic movement disorders; however, published experience with the drug in pediatric patients is limited. We report on 5 children with severe chorea who were treated with TBZ. TBZ effectively controlled chorea in 4 patients, and despite the need for relatively high doses, it was well tolerated.
丁苯那嗪（TBZ）被广泛用于治疗患有运动亢进性运动障碍的成人；然而，关于该药物在儿科患者中的应用经验报道有限。我们报告了5例接受丁苯那嗪治疗的重度舞蹈症患儿。丁苯那嗪有效控制了4例患者的舞蹈症，尽管需要相对较高的剂量，但耐受性良好。
