Resumen
Paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia (PNKD) is a rare disorder which typically begins in childhood. Attacks are characterized by a combination of dystonia and chorea, and they are usually triggered by alcohol, coffee, or strong emotion. Attacks can last from 5 min to 4 h. MR-1, which is now called PNKD gene, is the disease-causing gene in “primary” PNKD. Clonazepam appears to be the most successful treatment for PNKD. Deep brain stimulation of internal part of globus pallidus can be a treatment option in medication-resistant cases.
