Extrapyramidal disorders in childhood.
The term extrapyramidal system originally referred to the system concerned with motor function other than the pyramidal tract. This review covers papers that concern the basal ganglia and related structures except disorders relating to the cerebellum. Because the pathophysiologies of these disorders remain unknown, I review those papers that focused or implicated these points.
