Quick Flicks: Association of Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Dyskinesia and Tics.
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice 2018 May
Background: Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is a rare disorder characterised by brief attacks of chorea, dystonia, or mixed forms precipitated by sudden movement.
Methods: Observational study with a cohort of 14 PKD patients and genetic testing for PRRT2 mutations.
Results: In a series of 14 PKD patients seen in our clinic at the National Hospital of Neurology, Queen Square, from 2012-2017, we noted tics in 11 patients (79%), which stand in stark contrast to the estimated lifetime prevalence of tics estimated to reach 1%.
Conclusions: The two reasons to point out this possible association are the clinical implications and the potential opportunity of a better understanding of shared pathophysiological mechanisms of neuronal hyperexcitability.
