Shuddering attacks (SA) in infants are benign tremors, potentially linked to essential tremor (ET). While typically resolving, some cases may indicate subtle nervous system developmental issues.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Movement Disorders
  • Neurophysiology

Context:

  • Shuddering attacks (SA) are rare, benign infant disorders presenting as brief, frequent shivering without consciousness impairment.
  • SA are considered an early manifestation of essential tremor (ET), sharing similar pathophysiology.
  • Previous case reports on SA exist, but none originate from Japan.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the pathophysiology of shuddering attacks in infants using video-EEG monitoring.
  • To differentiate SA from epileptic seizures in early childhood.
  • To explore potential underlying neurological factors in children experiencing SA.

Summary:

  • Four children (8-14 months) with SA underwent video-EEG monitoring.
  • Electromyogram data indicated frequent shuddering movements, comparable to ET in one patient.

  • SA diminished or resolved in all participants; one showed immature brain development on MRI, and another had a flattened sella turcica, suggesting potential borderline neurological issues.

    • Impact:

    • Challenges the notion that SA are exclusively benign and require no further investigation.
    • Highlights the need for careful neurological assessment in infants with SA, considering potential developmental concerns.
    • Contributes novel findings from Japan on SA pathophysiology and clinical presentation.
