Paroxysmal dyskinesias (PD) are thought to be rare movement disorders. The overwhelming majority of reported cases are primary. Secondary PD has seen reported to occur in some conditions, mainly in multiple sclerosis and head trauma. The anatomic origin of the lesion is also rarely seen at the spinal cord. Our objective was to describe four patients with paroxysmal dystonia secondary to spinal lesions during the recovering phase of a neuromyelitis optica (NMO) bout. In the reviewed literature, we do not find any report of PD related to NMO.
发作性运动障碍（PD）被认为是罕见的运动障碍。绝大多数报告病例为原发性。继发性PD据报道在某些情况下会发生，主要见于多发性硬化症和头部外伤。病变的解剖学起源在脊髓也很少见。我们的目的是描述4例在视神经脊髓炎（NMO）发作恢复期继发于脊髓病变的阵发性肌张力障碍患者。在回顾的文献中，我们未发现任何与NMO相关的PD报告。
