We report 2 children with early onset of hypotonia and frequent episodes of paroxysmal dystonia. The episodes were abolished even by brief naps. One of the children developed alternating hemiplegia in the second decade. These children seem to have a variant of the now well-recognized syndrome of alternating hemiplegia of childhood. In that disorder, episodes of alternating hemiplegia develop before the age of 18 months. This syndrome must be considered in the differential diagnosis of paroxysmal dystonia in childhood.
我们报告了2例肌张力减退起病早且频繁发作阵发性肌张力障碍的儿童。这些发作甚至通过短暂午睡就可消除。其中1名儿童在第二个十年出现了交替性偏瘫。这些儿童似乎患有目前已被充分认识的儿童交替性偏瘫综合征的一种变异型。在那种疾病中，交替性偏瘫发作在18个月龄之前出现。在儿童阵发性肌张力障碍的鉴别诊断中必须考虑这种综合征。
