Mirror Movement in Children; A Single Center Experience
Öz
Mirror movements (MMs) are involuntary movements accompanying voluntary
activity in contralateral homologous muscle. Mirror movements have been
associated with a number of pathologic conditions, also it might occur physiologically in
childhood and subside before the age of ten. In this study, we retrospectively
evaluate etiologic and clinical features of the 27 patients with MMs.Clinical, demographic and laboratory data of the patients were obtained
by evaluating medical records retrospectively. The
Rasmussen scale was used to measure the severity of the MMs. Two children were
diagnosed as physiologic MMs. Eleven children were unilateral spastic cerebral
palsy and 14 patients were non-hemiplegic children. This study is one of the
largest case series of MMs in children. We identified new disorders with MMs by
using the Rasmussen scale. We suggest that an evaluation for MMs may be a part
of neurologic examinations, at least in risk groups
