We present 2 cases where PED was the presenting feature of young-onset idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), preceding the onset of parkinsonian symptoms by 1.5 and 5 years, respectively.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present 2 cases where PED was the presenting feature of young‐onset idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), preceding the onset of parkinsonian symptoms by 1.5 and 5 years, respectively.[doi.org]
Although its features are unique, this syndrome presents striking analogies with the autosomal dominant infantile convulsions and paroxysmal coreoathetosis (ICCA) syndrome, linked to a 10 cM region between D16S401 and D16S517, which entirely includes[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We describe a novel dominant disease in a three-generation family with four affected individuals presenting with acanthocytosis, paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesias and epilepsy.[thieme-connect.com]
This family presented with the classic phenotype of PED and is not linked to the PNKD, FHM, or ICCA loci. A new gene, possibly coding for an ion channel, is likely to be the underlying cause of the disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There was no Kayser-Fleischerring. CT scan of the brain and electroencephalogram did not show any abnormality. Carbamazepine even upto 800 mg daily, did not produce any benefit.[neurologyindia.com]
The nine-year-old son is little mentally retarded and suffers from mild permanent motor problems and focal epilepsy with myoclonic and atonicseizures occurring as status epilepticus in fasting state responding to ketogenic diet.[thieme-connect.com]
Non-epileptic head drops Non-epileptic head drops can occur in infants and may mimic epileptic spasms or atonicseizures.[epilepsydiagnosis.org]
What this means is they may not be able to speak at all, or they may have slurredspeech, or difficult accessing and articulating sounds, words and sentences. They might also experience cognitive and learning delays and disabilities.[disabled-world.com]
We describe the case of a young female patient who was admitted for diagnostic workup: epileptic seizures versus psychogenic movement disorders.[e-jmd.org]
Affected individuals presented with decreased CSF glucose, moderate hemolytic anemia and increased percentage of acanthocytes. Erythrocytes had a four-fold increased intracellular Na and a decreased K concentration.[thieme-connect.com]
Management and treatment There is no specific cure or treatment but avoiding precipitating events such as prolonged physical exercise may largely improve the symptoms.[orpha.net]

Typically, patients receive antiepileptic medications, and improvement of symptoms is usually associated with a good prognosis. If symptoms do not improve with antiepileptic medication(s), the prognosis is not favorable.[encyclopedia.com]

The diagnosis of PKD is based on the clinical features and the correct diagnosis has implications for treatment and prognosis. However, PKD is often misdiagnosed clinically as epilepsy or psychogenic illness.[jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
The events appear very frightening for carers but have a good prognosis. When reflex anoxic seizures are very frequent, atropine or cardiac pacing may be considered.[epilepsydiagnosis.org]
