Negative motor phenomena, including head drop and falls, ptosis and tongue protrusion, facial hypotonia, and generalized hypotonia, were significantly more frequent in patients compared to controls
Neck extension while watching videos and puppet-like choreic movements occurred in 24% and 13%, respectively
Summary
Researchers at University of Bologna; Niguarda Hospital, Milan; and University of Rome, Italy; Montpellier, France; Stanford University, CA, USA; and Institute of Neurology, London, UK analyzed motor features in 39 children with narcolepsy with cataplexy in comparison with 25 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Motor phenomena were “negative” and “active” (positive). Negative motor phenomena, including head drop and falls, ptosis and tongue protrusion, facial hypotonia, and generalized hypotonia, were significantly more frequent in patients compared to controls.
