N2 - Movement disorders in children encompass disorders of motor control - both hyperkinetic (excessive movement) and hypokinetic (decreased movement). This article focuses on the hyperkinetic movement disorders, particularly tremor, Wilson's disease, dystonia, tics and Tourette syndrome, chorea, myoclonus, neuroleptic-induced movement disorders, and psychogenic movement disorders. Phenomenology of the disorders as well as clinical presentation, basic pathophysiology, genetics, and treatment are discussed.
