A five-year-old girl with abnormal mirror movements is described. The phenomenon is observed in the distal parts of the extremities and is most marked in the hands. An extensive neuropediatric examination including computerized tomography of the brain has not revealed any further abnormalities, nor has it been possible to identify the pathogenetic mechanism. The clinical picture corresponds to that previously reported in cases of hereditary mirror movements--a condition with unknown pathogenesis affecting individuals that in other respects are neurologically normal. The disorder is considered to be dominantly inherited but in this case available data suggest a recessive mode of inheritance. There is no doubt that the girl of this report is getting increasingly embarrassed by her condition. Obviously mirror movements of this degree constitute a slight to moderate handicap.
本文描述了一名患有异常镜像运动的五岁女孩。这种现象出现在四肢的远端部位，在手部最为明显。包括脑部计算机断层扫描在内的全面神经儿科检查未发现任何其他异常，也未能确定其发病机制。临床表现与先前报道的遗传性镜像运动病例相符——这是一种发病机制不明的疾病，影响在其他方面神经功能正常的个体。该疾病被认为是显性遗传，但在本病例中，现有数据表明是隐性遗传模式。毫无疑问，本报告中的女孩对自己的病情越来越感到尴尬。显然，这种程度的镜像运动构成了轻度至中度的障碍。
