Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We provide a review of the movement disorders that complicate selected metabolic disorders, including the abnormal movements that may appear during or after their treatment. RECENT FINDINGS Movement disorders may be underrecognized when arising in the context of a broad range of metabolic disorders. Abnormal movements may occur as the initial manifestation of a systemic disease, at any time during its course, or as a result of the medical interventions required for its management. Ascertaining movement phenomenology in acute and subacute presentations may assist in the determination of the specific underlying metabolic disorder. The management of movement disorders associated with metabolic disorders depends on the underlying pathophysiology.
