Hyperkinesia
Abnormally increased and sometimes uncontrollable activity or muscular movements. 2 : a condition especially of childhood characterized by hyperactivity
Cluster Number:
Wiki Number: W097
Diagnosis: Hyperkinesia
US Patients:
World Patients:
Sex Ratio:
Age Onset:
Brain Area: The subthalamic nucleus improperly controls the basal ganglia producing these involuntary, unwanted movements.
Symptoms: several variations of excessive, unwanted muscle movements: ataxia, athetosis, chorea, dystonias, hemiballismus,
Progression: hemifacial spasms, myoclonus, stereotypies, tremors, tics, and volitional hyperkinesia; all are subsets of movements
Causes: Oversensitivity of dopamine and norepinephrine receptors or hyperactivity of the dopaminergic receptors appear.
Medications: Vary by diagnosis.
Therapies: Vary by diagnosis.

- Correlation between desynchrony of hippocampal neural activity and hyperlocomotion in the model mice of schizophrenia and therapeutic effects of aripiprazoleby Xueru Wang on May 4, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the disruption of neural coordination may underly the neuropathological mechanism for hyperlocomotion of SZ.
- Myoclonus and Dystonia as Recurrent Presenting Features in Patients with the SCA21-Associated TMEM240 p.Pro170Leu Variantby Ugo Sorrentino on April 15, 2024
BACKGROUND: Spinocerebellar ataxia 21 (SCA21) is a rare neurological disorder caused by heterozygous variants in TMEM240. A growing, yet still limited number of reports suggested that hyperkinetic movements should be considered a defining component of the disease.
- Intraoperative Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: A Case Reportby Fahri Cakan on March 23, 2024
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a rare condition associated with transient akinesia of apical segments and hyperkinesia of basal segments of the heart. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to cause direct and indirect myocardial damage owing to catecholamine excess, the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown. An 18-year-old female was referred to our otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic for a septorhinoplasty. Apart from the fear of surgery, the patient had no other health...
- Left ventricular apical aneurysm caused by takotsubo cardiomyopathyby Masaru Hiki on March 14, 2024
A 78-year-old woman with hypertension was admitted to our hospital with palpitation and chest discomfort. She had been nervous since she learned about a severe earthquake on the news. An electrocardiogram showed ST-segment elevation in leads I, aVL, and V2-6. Emergency coronary angiography demonstrated no significant coronary stenosis and left ventriculography revealed marked akinesis of apical left ventricle with hyperkinesis of the basal segments, indicating typical takotsubo cardiomyopathy....
