    Author: Kothare SV, Pollack P, Kulberg AG, Ravin PD.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurol; 2000 Jan; 22(1):68-71. PubMed ID: 10669210.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year, 6-month-old female was evaluated for subacute onset of left-sided hemichorea/hemiballismus, with an old, right parietal, cortical, and subcortical stroke as the presumed cause. Treatment with gabapentin was initiated, with good results at 6-month follow-up. Discussion of the differential diagnosis and evaluation of delayed-onset movement disorders in children and the mechanism of action of gabapentin is included.
