✦ Synopsis

We interviewed and examined 12 members of a single family affected by paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis. Three subjects experienced characteristic painful dystonic spasms, often precipitated by cold and prolonged physical activity. Three other family members suffered painful cramping of their limbs, without involuntary movement, following physical exertion. Based on the clinical features of affected subjects, we suggest that exertional cramping may represent a "forme fruste" of paroxysmal dystonia.

## Abstract A case of familial paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis (PDC) documented by video/EEG monitoring is described. The father of the proband is affected by exertional cramping but not PDC, lending support to the previous hypothesis that exertional cramping may represent a β€œforme fruste” or t

Familial paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis (PDC) is an autosomal dominant neurological disorder characterized by episodes of involuntary movement precipitated by caffeine, alcohol, or emotional stress. The locus for PDC has recently been mapped to chromosome 2q32-36, but its causative gene has not
