A case of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia in idiopathic bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis.
Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is presented as a short paroxysmal attack of focal or generalized involuntary movement. Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC) is referred to as Fahr's disease and is characterized by the calcification of the basal ganglia, cerebellar nuclei and thalamus. Most common presentation of BSPDC was a parkinsonism, and PKD has also been reported to few of the cases with sporadic BSPDC. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old-man with PKD for 19 years, and we describe the pathogenesis of PKD in the BSPDC.
