Abstract
This is a case of a 7-year-old Filipino female who presented with undulating movements of the abdomen that occur only while awake, following the initiation of treatment for clinically diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis. Systemic physical examination was normal. The neurological examination was also unremarkable. The 2-hr video EEG showed no electroencephalographic changes or ictal pattern correlating with the abdominal dyskinesia, highly suggesting a movement disorder. Craniospinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with Gadolinium showed typical results. The patient responded to the trial of carbamazepine after three weeks of treatment with complete resolution of abdominal dyskinesia. Reaserch Materials - Video showing the undulating abdominal movements. The patient was awake and fully aware of the movements.
