Abstract
Three cases of paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis are described in whom unilateral attacks were focally induced, together with a case in whom bilateral attacks only occurred. Treatment with phenytoin was effective in all cases. The aspects of the literature relating to focal and generalized attacks in paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis are reviewed.Keywords
