Abstract

To deepen the understanding of Belly dancer’s syndrome, a rare syndrome, by reporting the clinical features of the first patient with Belly dancer’s syndrome in China and performing a systematic review. Methods: This study described the clinical features of the first Chinese patients with belly dancer’s syndrome. A systematic review of the currently reported cases of belly dancer’s syndrome was further performed according to the PRISMA protocol. Results: Thirty-three articles meeting the inclusion criteria were included, involving a total of 44 patients with belly dancer’s syndrome. Abdominal surgery was the most common cause or trigger of the disease. The main manifestations in the abdomen were slow movement, fast movement, clonic movement, and combinations of different movements. Most patients experienced progressive worsening of their symptoms. In terms of treatment, for patients with removable triggers, symptoms could significantly improve after removing the triggers. Regarding medication, GABAergic drugs, membrane ion channel stabilizers, and levetiracetam-related drugs were effective, while immunotherapy was ineffective. When medication is ineffective, local injection of botulinum toxin and surgical treatment can be considered as optional treatment options. Conclusion: This study reported the first case of belly dancer’s syndrome in China and systematically evaluated the clinical characteristics of this syndrome, providing a basis for clinicians to understand this rare syndrome.
