Özet
Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) is defined as exacerbation of obsessive-compulsive disorder and/or tic disorder after streptococcal infections. New accumulating evidence suggests that PANDAS have some variants such as infantile-onset type, adult-onset type, myoclonic type, and dystonic type. In this report, we present the case of a fifteen-year-old adolescent who had myoclonic symptoms in the shoulders and was first treated for epilepsy and later, for conversion disorder until the diagnosis of PANDAS was established.
