    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Movement Disorders

    Background:

    • Paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis (PKC) is a rare movement disorder.
    • Idiopathic and sporadic forms present diagnostic challenges.

    Observation:

    • A case of sporadic, idiopathic PKC is presented.
    • Attacks were triggered by the initiation of voluntary movement.

    Findings:

    • The patient experienced frequent choreoathetotic episodes.
    • Diphenylhydantoin demonstrated significant efficacy in managing symptoms.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights diphenylhydantoin as a potential treatment for PKC.
    • Further research into the pathophysiology and treatment of PKC is warranted.
