Abstract
Tetrabenazine (TBZ) is widely used to treat adults with hyperkinetic movement disorders; however, published experience with the drug in pediatric patients is limited. We report on 5 children with severe chorea who were treated with TBZ. TBZ effectively controlled chorea in 4 patients, and despite the need for relatively high doses, it was well tolerated. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
