We observed head stereotypies in three patients. These comprised a slow (<1Hz), high-amplitude, horizontal, 'figure-of-eight' pattern, beginning at age 4-6 years and resulting in neck muscle hypertrophy, in two males; a faster (2-3Hz), side-to-side, 'no' movement, starting at the age of 9 years 6 months was observed in one female. Upper limb and truncal stereotypies and vocalization occurred intermittently with the head movements. The stereotypies increased with excitement but settled with concentration and sleep. Head and upper limb stereotypies are valuable clinical clues to the diagnosis of STXBP1 encephalopathy in patients with profound impairments. | Gov't Doc #: | 23763664 | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/11789 | DOI: | 10.1111/dmcn.12197 | Journal: | Developmental medicine and child neurology | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23763664 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Adolescent Child Electroencephalography Female Head.physiopathology Humans Male Munc18 Proteins.genetics Stereotypic Movement Disorder.diagnosis.genetics.physiopathology |
