Sumario:BACKGROUND: Parkinsonism following viral encephalitis is well reported. However, in addition, to parkinsonism other movement disorders such as dystonia, chorea, myoclonus may also be observed in these patients. Stereotypy is a very rare manifestation following viral encephalitis. CASE REPORT: Here we report a rare case of a 25-year-old young man who developed stereotypy and parkinsonism following dengue virus encephalitis. The stereotypy was in the form of snapping of fingers of left-hand which was repetitive, purposeless, non-goal directed, present for most of the day and partially suppressible. DISCUSSION: This report expands the spectrum of movement disorders seen in dengue infection.
