The author reports a series of 17 cases of congenital mirror movements of the hands and forearms (and in a few cases the toes), but no other signs of gross neurological deviation. This is an uncommon disorder that often goes unrecognised. This slight but definite disability seems to persist largely unchanged at least into the late teens, and probably into adulthood. A hereditary background is suggested in about half of the cases. Various neuropsychiatric deficits were seen in combination with the mirror movements in about half the cases, as well as a high incidence of non-right-handedness. Although the clinical heterogeneity of the disorder was clear, the phenomenon of mirror movements was similar in all cases. Recent progress in understanding the pathophysiology of this disorder is reviewed.
作者报告了一系列17例先天性手部和前臂镜像运动（少数病例为脚趾）的病例，但无其他明显神经功能偏差迹象。这是一种罕见的疾病，常常未被识别。这种轻微但明确的残疾至少在青少年晚期似乎基本保持不变，可能持续到成年期。约半数病例提示有遗传背景。约半数病例中，各种神经精神缺陷与镜像运动同时出现，以及非右利手的发生率较高。尽管该疾病的临床异质性明显，但所有病例中的镜像运动现象相似。本文综述了该疾病病理生理学理解方面的最新进展。
