概要 Introduction: Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) is characterized by
choreoathetosis and dystonia attacks occurring at the onset of exercise. Carbamazepine
(CBZ) is often effective, but some patients cannot continue treatment due to side effects
such as auditory abnormalities. We report three cases of PKD children who developed
auditory abnormalities with CBZ and achieved good outcomes after switching to
lacosamide (LCM).
Case reports: Patient 1 is 13-years-old male. The attacks of PKD occurred at age 11. He
has no history of infantile convulsions. His father had a history of PKD. CBZ resolved
attacks at age 12, but was switched to LCM due to the side effect of “hearing sounds a
semitone lower.” Patient 2 is 14-years-old male. The attacks of PKD occurred at age 10.
He and his mother and sister had a history of infantile convulsions. CBZ resolved
attacks at age 13 but was switched to LCM due to the same side effect as patient 1.
Patient 3 is 15-years-old male. The attacks of PKD occurred at age 13. He has no
history or family history of PKD or infantile convulsions. After starting CBZ at age 15,
he began “hearing sounds distortedly”. CBZ was continued because attacks were well
controlled but was switched to LCM due to drug eruptions. In all cases, attacks were

resolved within a few days after initiating LCM, with no recurrence of auditory
abnormalities or other adverse events. Dosage was maintained at 100 mg/day in all
patients. Prior to using LCM, oral informed consents were obtained from all patients and their
parents regarding that LCM for PKD was off-label use.
Conclusion: LCM is an effective treatment for pediatric PKD and may serve as an
alternative when side effects of CBZ such as auditory abnormalities are problematic.
