Recurrent belly dancer dyskinesia in pregnancy

A 37-year-old woman in her 34th week of pregnancy developed continual abdominal movements, which had complicated both her previous pregnancies (video at Neurology.org). Examination, routine bloodwork, and brain MRI were normal. Circumstances precluded prepartum thoracolumbar MRI; postpartum MRI was unrevealing. Clonazepam and levetiracetam suppressed the movements, which remitted postpartum. All babies were healthy.
