Abstract

We report a case of a 3-year-old boy who presented with abnormal movements that initially occurred only during sleep. Three years later, he went on to develop hyperkinetic movements during the daytime while awake. There was a strong family history of various paroxysmal neurologic disorders. In this report, we discuss the clinical approach, differential diagnosis, investigation, and treatment options for nocturnal hyperkinetic movements and paroxysmal movement disorders.
