Electronic Supplementary Material

In this chapter, we present a group of patients with very unusual movement disorders. These patients are rare enough that even a movement disorder clinician may encounter them very infrequently in a career. Four categories of disorders are reviewed: metal and ion deposits; disorders on the borderland of epilepsy; unusual forms of parkinsonism; and benign paroxysmal disorders of infancy (MP4 3144930 kb)
