Abstract
Pediatric movement disorders constitute a relatively small cluster of symptoms that can be associated with many different underlying diseases. To provide effective treatment, it is essential to understand the relationship between etiology and clinical expression. This article reviews the recent literature on several common pediatric movement disorders, including spasticity, dystonia, chorea, myoclonus, bradykinesia, and tics, and it discusses current models of physiology that may help link the cellular pathology of specific diseases to the expression of clinical symptoms.Entities:
