The etiology is unknown; however, a relationship to essential tremor has been postulated. A series of 12 consecutive children were identified over a 6-year period ending January 1, 2007. Shuddering attacks were diagnosed based on descriptive history and videotape review. Their referral diagnosis was epilepsy in 7 (58%) and movement disorder in 5 (42%). The referring physician never suspected the diagnosis. The age of onset ranged from 8 months to 2 years (mean 13 months). Family history was negative for essential tremor. None had epileptiform discharges on electroencephalography (EEG). All children were followed for 2 to 8 years (mean 6.3). Complete remission was noted by 3 to 7 years (mean 5.6) of age, and none had subsequent tremor during follow-up. In conclusion, shuddering attacks are frequently misdiagnosed leading to unnecessary investigations or treatment. No association with essential tremor was found neither in the child nor in the family  ردمد : 0883-0738  اسم الدورية : Journal of Child Neurology  المجلد : 25  العدد : 7  سنة النشر : 1431 هـ 2010 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Sunday, August 14, 2011  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني محمد جان Jan, Mohammed باحث دكتوراه   الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  30251.pdf pdf   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
