Abstract

An ever‐increasing number of neurogenetic conditions presenting with both epilepsy and atypical movements are now recognized. These disorders within the ‘genetic epilepsy‐dyskinesia’ spectrum are clinically and genetically heterogeneous. Increased clinical awareness is therefore necessary for a rational diagnostic approach. Furthermore, careful interpretation of genetic results is key to establishing the correct diagnosis and initiating disease‐specific management strategies in a timely fashion. In this review we describe the spectrum of movement disorders associated with genetically determined epilepsies. We also propose diagnostic strategies and putative pathogenic mechanisms causing these complex syndromes associated with both seizures and atypical motor control.
