Abstract

The authors describe a case of a 15-year-old girl who presented with a progressive sequence of nocturnal dystonic episodes, generalized seizures, and diurnal dystonic episodes. A diagnosis of nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia has been proposed in view of the association between nocturnal episodes and epileptic seizures, while the diurnal episodes are atypical. Neurophysiological data recorded during critical episodes are reported. A linkage between dystonic attacks and epilepsy is hypothesized.
