Pediatric movement disorders

Pediatrics in Review
Michael C Kruer

Abstract

On the basis of some research evidence and consensus, identification of acute opsoclonus, ataxia, or myoclonus should prompt consideration of an underlying neuroblastoma. On the basis of some research evidence and consensus, surgical treatment options should be considered for children with dystonia, including secondary dystonias, such as those related to cerebral palsy, and include intrathecal baclofen pumps and deep brain stimulation. On the basis of some research evidence and clinical experience, tetrabenazine may be effective in treating chorea. On the basis of strong research evidence, although seldom inherently dangerous, tics may be uncomfortable for affected children and interfere with academic achievement and social development. On the basis of some research evidence and clinical experience, topiramate may be an effective treatment for tic disorders.
