2012 Honorary Award of the German speaking Child Neurology Society:

Prof. Masaya Segawa

Director of the Segawa Neurological Clinic for Children in Tokyo, Japan

In 1970, Prof. Segawa was the first to describe an inherited form of childhood-onset dystonia in nine patients out of six unrelated families. From his clinical observation of marked diurnal fluctuation and response to low-dose ʟ-dopa therapy, the entity was coined Segawa syndrome. In 1994 Prof. Segawa and his research group identified the underlying defect by describing autosomal dominant mutations of the GTPCH gene. For his outstanding lifetime work, Prof. Segawa holds several awards, including the prize of the Japanese Pediatric Society in 2011, the Congress Award of the 15th International Congress on Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders, and the Best Child Neurologist Award donated at the International Child Neurology Congress 2010.

We are delighted that Prof. Segawa has accepted this award, and to add him to the distinguished list of Honorary Award of the German speaking Child Neurology Society winners.
