Involuntary movements in children are a common yet confusing presentation in pediatric practice.
🔍 Types
• Tics – suppressible, stress-related movements
• Chorea – flowing, dance-like movements
• Athetosis – slow writhing of hands
• Dystonia – sustained twisted postures
• Myoclonus – sudden, shock-like jerks
• Tremor – rhythmic shaking
• Stereotypies – repetitive, patterned movements
• Seizure movements – rhythmic, non-suppressible jerks
Key diagnostic clues to always ask:
✔ Sudden or gradual onset
✔ Suppressible or not
✔ Present during sleep?
✔ Development normal or delayed
✔ Triggered by stress, excitement, or illness
