Shuddering attacks. Evaluation using electroencephalographic frequency modulation radiotelemetry and videotape monitoring
G. L. Holmes and B. S. Russman
Three children who had frequent shuddering or shivering attacks were
studied using electroencephalographic frequency modulation radiotelemetry
and videotape monitoring. The attacks consisted of bilateral fine tremors,
sometimes associated with stiffening of the upper extremities. The attacks
were not associated with any electroencephalographic abnormalities.
Shuddering attacks appear to be a benign movement disorder.
