Convergence Deficits in Myoclonus‐Dystonia Point to Cerebellar Impairment
Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) is a monogenic movement disorder, with proposed cerebellar dysfunction. Vergence eye movement deficits, characteristics of degenerative cerebellar disease, have not been studied in M‐D. Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is considered a potential therapeutic approach.
