PAROXYSMAL KINESIOGENIC CHOREOATHETOSIS: A FREQUENTLY MISDIAGNOSED MOVEMENT DISORDER

Paroxysmal kinesiogenic choreoathetosis is rare movement disorder, which is frequently misdiagnosed as an epileptic disorder partly because of a good response to anti-epileptic drugs (Phenytoin sodium). At times these patients are mistaken for a conversion reaction. One such case is described.
