Scope note: Variante de epilepsia caracterizada por sacudidas focales continuas de una parte del cuerpo durante un período de horas, días o incluso años, sin que se propaguen a otras regiones corporales. Las contracciones pueden agravarse por el movimiento y reducirse, pero no abolirse, durante el sueño. La ELECTROENCEFALOGRAFÍA demuestra, en la mayoría de los casos, descargas epileptiformes (picos y ondas) sobre el hemisferio opuesto a la extremidad afectada. Los movimientos repetidos pueden originarse en la CORTEZA CEREBRAL o en estructuras subcorticales (ejemplo, TRONCO ENCEFÁLICO, GANGLIOS BASALES). Esta afección se asocia con la encefalitis de la primavera y el verano rusos (ver ENCEFALITIS TRASMITIDA POR GARRAPATAS), síndrome de Rasmussen (ver ENCEFALITIS), ESCLEROSIS MÚLTIPLE, DIABETES MELLITUS, NEOPLASIAS CEREBRALES y TRASTORNOS CEREBROVASCULARES.

Scope note: A variant of EPILEPSY characterized by continuous focal jerking of a body part over a period of hours, days, or even years without spreading to other body regions. Contractions may be aggravated by movement and are reduced, but not abolished during sleep. ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY demonstrates epileptiform (spike and wave) discharges over the hemisphere opposite to the affected limb in most instances. The repetitive movements may originate from the CEREBRAL CORTEX or from subcortical structures (e.g., BRAIN STEM; BASAL GANGLIA). This condition is associated with Russian Spring and Summer encephalitis (see ENCEPHALITIS, TICK BORNE); Rasmussen syndrome (see ENCEPHALITIS); MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS; DIABETES MELLITUS; BRAIN NEOPLASMS; and CEREBROVASCULAR DISORDERS.
