Parkinsonism following viral encephalitis is well reported. However, in addition, to parkinsonism other movement disorders such as dystonia, chorea, myoclonus may also be observed in these patients. Stereotypy is a very rare manifestation following viral encephalitis.
Here we report a rare case of a 25-year-old young man who developed stereotypy and parkinsonism following dengue virus encephalitis. The stereotypy was in the form of snapping of fingers of left-hand which was repetitive, purposeless, non-goal directed, present for most of the day and partially suppressible.
This report expands the spectrum of movement disorders seen in dengue infection.
病毒性脑炎后发生帕金森病已有相关报道。然而，除了帕金森病之外，这些患者还可能出现其他运动障碍，如肌张力障碍、舞蹈症、肌阵挛。刻板动作是病毒性脑炎后一种非常罕见的表现。
在这里，我们报告了一例罕见的登革热病毒脑炎后出现刻板动作和帕金森病的 25 岁年轻男性病例。该患者的刻板动作表现为左手频繁弹响手指，动作重复、无目的、非指向性，一天中大部分时间都存在，部分可抑制。
本报告扩展了登革热感染中出现的运动障碍谱。
