Abstract

Post-encephalitis syndrome can present with a multitude of movement disorders. Dystonia and parkinsonism are frequently observed during the course of acute viral encephalitis. The proper elucidation of genesis of such movements is yet to be determined. The advent of such abnormal movements and response to treatment needs further illustration. In this case series, we present the course of illness of three such patients over a long follow-up duration.
