摘要
The sex ratio, age at onset, and ictal features of nine patients with nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia were compared with those of eight patients with daytime frontal lobe seizures and eight patients with nocturnal motor attacks of known epileptic origin. All patients underwent video electroencephalography telemetry. There were no clinical features that would allow distinction between the groups and no single phenomenon was uniquely seen in nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia. This study provides no evidence that nocturnal paroxysmal dystonia is a separate diagnostic entity.
