Unveiling the enigmatic connection: Belly dancer's dyskinesia as an unusual manifestation of normal pressure hydrocephalus: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Normal pressure hydrocephalus is rarely associated with Belly dancer's dyskinesia and seizure. Abstract Belly dancer's dyskinesia (BDD) is characterized by bilateral, sluggish, involuntary, repetitive, and rhythmic motions of the anterior abdominal wall. We present a rare case of a 78‐year‐old man diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus associated with BDD and seizure who presented with left‐sided weakness of the body and abnormal body movements.
