Abstract
Three children with Sandifer syndrome are described. One patient was at first erroneously diagnosed as having neurological disease; the two others had true neurological damage, which led initially to misinterpretation of their bizarre dystonic features. Awareness of this entity will spare such children needless investigations and suffering, while giving them the benefit of proper treatment.Keywords
