These manifestations include paroxysmal events of hemiplegia, quadriplegia, dystonia, abnormal eye movements, autonomic dysfunction, altered awareness and epilepsy. AHC has an estimated prevalence of 1/1,000,000 children although this could be ten times higher [

      ]. Also, the presence of the ATP1A3 mutations is important to include in a revision of the AHC diagnostic criteria. In addition, there is often confusion in the literature in which patients who have had episodes of hemiplegia on either side and are children are considered to have AHC. The point is that not every alternating hemiplegia during childhood is alternating hemiplegia of childhood. The first i.e. hemiplegia that alternates sides, is a symptom the second, i.e. AHC, is a disorder.
