Movement disorder emergencies

Movement disorders may present acutely, and failure to recognize and exclude important differential diagnoses can result in significant morbidity or mortality.

Description
Summary:Movement disorders may present acutely, and failure to recognize and exclude important differential diagnoses can result in significant morbidity or mortality. Unfortunately, much of the literature pertaining to this topic is scattered and not easily accessible. This review aims to address this deficit. Movement disorder emergencies are discussed according to their most likely mode of presentation. Diagnostic considerations and early management principles are reviewed, along with appropriate pathophysiology where relevant. © 2004 Movement Disorder Society
