Un enfant de 2 ans est récemment venu à ma clinique en raison d'épisodes répétés de raidissements du cou et de mouvements de frissons aux épaules et aux bras. Les épisodes durent de 4 à 5 secondes et se produisent plus de 10 fois par jour, sans modèle apparent, outre une fréquence accrue à l'heure des repas. Même s'il n'a pas eu de perte de conscience, les parents s'inquiétaient qu'il ait des convulsions. ⋯ Des constatations normales à un examen neurologique et au tracé d'un électroencéphalogramme confirmeront que l'enfant a des accès de frissonnement, un phénomène bénin qui ne requiert pas d'examen plus approfondi ou de traitement médical. La cause de cet état est inconnue, mais il se distingue de l'épilepsie et ne nécessite pas de médicaments antiépileptiques, auxquels il ne répond pas. Les parents peuvent avoir l'assurance que les accès diminueront en fréquence et disparaîtront spontanément avec l'âge.
