The purpose of this review is to provide an update on the classification, phenomenology, pathophysiology, and treatment of dystonia.A revised definition based on the main phenomenologic features of dystonia has recently been developed in an expert consensus approach. Classification is based on two main axes: clinical features and etiology.

Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 2006
Dystonia is a disorder of involuntary sustained muscle contractions. It is commonly classified by age of onset, distribution of involved body regions, and etiology. The pathophysiolgy of this condition is complex and imperfectly understood. This article reviews the epidemiology, genetics, clinical features, and approach to diagnosis and treatment of ...

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000
Therapy for most people with dystonia is symptomatic, directed at lessening the intensity of the dystonic contractions. For a small minority of patients (eg, those with dopa-responsive dystonia, Wilson's disease, or psychogenic dystonia), specific therapy directed at one of the many causes of dystonia is available.

Current Opinion in Neurology, 1998
Many different disorders have dystonia as the only or primary sign. The list of causes for dystonia increases yearly and now includes three mapped loci for primary torsion dystonia, although other susceptibility genes are suspected. Study of one of these primary torsion dystonia loci (DYT1) has culminated in the cloning of a gene which codes for a ...

Rating scales for dystonia: A multicenter assessment
Movement Disorders, 2003 The evaluation of dystonia requires a reliable rating scale. The widely used Fahn-Marsden Scale (F-M) has not been sufficiently tested across multiple centers and investigators.

This article provides a summary of the state of the art in the diagnosis, classification, etiologies, and treatment of dystonia.Although many different clinical manifestations of dystonia have been recognized for decades, it is only in the past 5 years that a broadly accepted approach has emerged for classifying them into specific subgroups.

Dysphagia, 2005
A patient is described with some dystonic features related to the preswallowing period of oropharyngeal swallowing in the muscles of deglutition sequentially. This case may be called a "preswallowing dystonia."

Child's Nervous System, 1992
Myoclonic dystonia is a rare disorder that occurs in an hereditary and a sporadic form. The autosomal-dominantly inherited form is responsive to alcohol but not to other drugs. The sporadic form has been relatively resistant to drug treatment. We report a young man with myoclonic dystonia who displayed only little response to alcohol but improved ...

Seminars in Neurology, 2011
Dystonia is characterized by muscle contractions leading to abnormal postures with involuntary twisting and repetitive movements. Inherited dystonia designated by DYT locus symbols can be separated into three broad phenotypic categories: primary torsion dystonia (PTD), where dystonia is the only clinical sign (except for tremor) (DYT1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 13 ...
