Explanation:
'There is a special group of dyskinesias, that present a paroxysmal character and includes paroxysmal distonia and paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis...'

Were you after the whole sentence?

I urge you to look at the references I gave last night (ie:

http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/defined/parox.asp
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/health_and_medical/disorders/the_dy...

for some excellent information on these.
But really - you have all you need above - noone else is going to give a further explanation, as this is it...

Buena suerte

Paroxysmal Dystonia (PDC), Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreoathetosis (PKC)


Explanation:
The paroxysmal dyskinesias are classified as action-induced (kinesigenic) or non-action induced (non-kinesigenic).
The most common and best recognized paroxysmal dyskinesias are paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis (PKC) and paroxysmal dystonic non-kinesigenic choreoathetosis (PDC), also know as paroxysmal dystonia.

paroxysmal dystonia, paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis


Explanation:
Paroxysmal dystonia (PD) refers to relatively brief attacks of dystonic movements and postures with a return to normal posture between episodes. It is a form of paroxysmal dyskinesias

Paroxysmal Kinesigenic Choreoathetosis

Familial paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis has been called paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis, paroxysmal dystonic choreoathetosis, periodic dystonia and familial paroxysmal choreoathetosis.
The most frequently reported familial paroxysmal choreoathetosis disorder is the kinesigenically induced one, in that the episodes are precipitated by movement. Characteristically, the precipitating movement is a brisk and sudden event such as a quick head turn as might occur after a startle reaction. Attacks may be induced in the exam room by having the individual hop on one foot for a short period.
