PURA syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder named after its causative gene, the purine-rich element-binding protein A gene. It is characterized by neonatal hypotonia, feeding and respiratory problems during infancy, global developmental delay, with or without seizures. Although a variety of movement disorders have been observed in some of these patients,they were less systematically investigated. Herein, we report on a pediatric patient with PURA syndrome featuring multiple types of involuntary movements during school age.
