Description : Alternating hemiplegia of childhood is a rare syndrome characterized by infantile
onset of episodic hemi-or quadriplegia. Most cases are accompanied by dystonic posturing,
choreoathetoid movements, abnormal ocular movements, developmental delay, and progressive
cognitive impairment (summary by Heinzen et al., 2012). For discussion of genetic
