We present the case of a young girl with periodic posturing during masturbation. The child had been evaluated by several physicians and underwent numerous diagnostic tests before the spells were seen by a physician and determined to be self-stimulatory and not paroxysmal dystonia. Masturbation is a normal and common behavior in young children and should be recognized as such. Failure to recognize this behavior can lead to unnecessary and invasive testing.
我们报告一例在自慰时出现周期性姿势的年轻女孩病例。该患儿曾由多位医生进行评估，并接受了多项诊断测试，之后一位医生才观察到这些发作情况，并确定其为自我刺激行为而非阵发性肌张力障碍。自慰在幼儿中是一种正常且常见的行为，应得到这样的认识。未能认识到这种行为可能导致不必要的侵入性检查。
