Few studies analyzed AMD in children, none in Tunisia or other African country. The purpose of this study was to describe the peculiarities of AMD in a Tunisian pediatric population with a literature review.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>We conducted a retrospective descriptive study over 8 years including 80 children (sex ratio, 1.05; mean age of onset, 4.8 years) with AMD, followed in tertiary referral Child Neurology Department in North Tunisia.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Acute movement disorders were mainly hyperkinetic (n = 67 with dystonia (n = 33; mostly due to inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) in 11; with status epilepticus in 10 children), chorea (n = 14; with Sydenham chorea in 5); myoclonus (n = 14; mostly with opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome in 10) and tremor (n = 6; of posttraumatic origin in half). Hypokinetic movement disorder (MD) included acute parkinsonism in 5 children of infectious (n = 3), postinfectious (n = 1, malaria) and posttraumatic origin (n = 1). Mixed MD, found in 8 children, were mainly due to IMD in half of them, and to familial lupus in two. Paroxysmal MDs were seen in 2 children, one with multiple sclerosis and one of idiopathic origin. Psychogenic MDs were found in 7 patients mainly of dystonic type. Management of AMD comprised symptomatic treatment according to the phenomenology of the MD and causative treatment depending on its etiology.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our study illustrated the broad range of AMD in children and the wide spectrum of their etiologies. In our series, we described some exceptional findings and etiologies of AMD in children. These findings may denote a specific profile in of AMD in our country with predominant infectious, postinfectious, and IMD.<\/jats:p>\n
