Alternating hemiplegia of childhood: A rare neurological disorder with frequent temporary episodes of paralysis of one side of the body ( hemiplegia ) usually beginning before the age of 18 months. The eye movements, face, or limbs can be paralysed on either side of the body, but on only one side at a time. The cause is unknown. Abbreviated AHC. Also known as alternating hemiplegia syndrome.

One form of AHC has a favorable outlook. It occurs primarily at night, when a child awakens, and is apparently related to migraine . These children have no other mental or neurological impairments.

Another form of AHC is more serious and may include mental impairment, balance and gait difficulties, excessive sweating , changes in body temperature, and seizures. Treatment with flunarizine , a calcium channel blocker , may help to reduce the severity and duration of attacks of paralysis.
