Psychogenic movement disorders (PMD) are challenging to diagnose and to treat. Since the nineteenth century, PMDs were recognized and described in painstaking detail. In the modern neurology clinic, PMDs may comprise 2-25% of the patient population. Recognition of the various types of PMDs, differentiation from organic illness and an approach to PMDs are described in this article.

Résumé

RÉSUMÉ

Les dérdres du mouvement d’origine psychogè posent un dé diagnostique et sont difficiles àraiter. Ces dérdres sont connus et déits en déil depuis le dixneuviè sièe. Dans une clinique de neurologie moderne, ces dérdres peuvent atteindre de 2 à5% des patients. L’identification des diffénts types de dérdres du mouvement d’origine psychogè, les caractéstiques qui les difféntient des maladies organiques et la prise en charge de ces dérdres sont déites dans cet article.
