| description | Introduction: Movement disorders can present in emergency services in an acute severe form which can be life threatening if not recognized. The relative frequency and spectrum of movement disorder emergencies have not been studied extensively. We studied the frequency, spectrum, and outcome of patients presenting with movement disorders emergencies. Methods: This was a prospective, descriptive single center study. Patients presenting with acute movement disorders to the neurology emergency services of the institute during the study period from April 2019 to June 2021 were analyzed. Results: A total of 71 patients presented with acute movement disorders during the study period. Out of them, 65 patients had hyperkinetic and 6 patients had hypokinetic movement disorders emergencies. Fifteen patients were below the age of 18 years. Chorea (59.1%) was the most common movement disorder emergencies followed by dystonia and myoclonus in adults. Dystonia (33.3%) was the common movement disorder emergencies in children. Hyperglycemia followed by stroke was the most common etiology of acute movement disorders. Conclusion: This study brings out some novel findings on the movement disorders emergencies in Indian scenario. Chorea was the most common movement disorder emergencies presenting to the neurology emergency services. Early recognition and management of movement disorders emergencies help in reducing morbidity. |
