The Spectrum of Abnormal Tongue Movements: Review of Phenomenology, Etiology, and Differential Diagnosis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Classifying abnormal tongue movements is challenging due to their varied presentations and limited visibility compared to other body parts. Accurate identification of the phenomenology guides physical examination and can point to specific diagnoses.
