FAMILIAL PAROXYSMAL CHOREOATHETOSIS OF MOUNT AND REBACK

Study of a Second Family in Which This Condition Is Found in Association with Epilepsy

CHARLES V. PRYLES M.D.1, SAMUEL LIVINGSTON M.D.1, and FRANK R. FORD M.D.1

1 The Department of Pediatrics and the Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medical School, and the Epilepsy Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore.

A case is described of familial paroxysmal choreoathetosis identical to that described by Mount and Reback. This patient also had attacks of petit mal. There was a history of epilepsy in other members of the family and a maternal aunt had seizures similar to those of the case described herein. It appears that this disease may be related to epilepsy.
