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 ...

We review the experimental evidence from genetic and neurophysiological studies on idiopathic and secondary torsion dystonias. We also discuss the treatment of dystonia by botulinum toxin injections and surgical therapy.

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder that develops after exposure to dopamine receptor blocking agents. Less well-appreciated are other, more recently described tardive syndromes that are phenomenologically distinct from tardive dyskinesia and respond to different treatments. Patients may simultaneously have more than one tardive syndrome.

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 ...

Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by involuntary repetitive muscular contraction affecting different parts of the oromandibular region. Its various physical manifestations can be extremely debilitating and socially disabling to affected patients. To date, there is no commonly accepted set of diagnostic criteria

Adult-onset focal dystonia in the upper limbs is well characterized whereas such dystonia has been rarely reported in the lower limbs, especially in proximal parts. When such focal dystonia occurs in an athlete it is often wrongly attributed to an orthopedic disorder. We present five cases, three female and two male with mean age of 44.6+/-10.43 years,

Journal of Neurology, 1998
Secondary or symptomatic dystonias are (1) often accompanied by other neurological deficits. (2) begin suddenly at rest and occur at rest from the onset, (3) are associated with different hereditary and environmental causes. From an aetiological point of view, secondary dystonias can be caused by focal brain lesions of various origin, neurodegenerative

Progressive dystonias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of movement disorders. In the primary forms, dystonia is the only sign of the disease, and the cause is either unknown or genetic. In the secondary forms, dystonia is usually only one of several disease manifestations and the cause may be genetic or due to other insults ...

Unlike tardive dyskinesia (TD) which is much better known by clinicians, tardivedystonia is a more recently recognised complication of neuroleptic use. It refers to chronic dystonia related to the use of neuroleptic drugs and may be an even more disabling condition than TD. This article reviews its epidemiology, clinical features and treatment aspects,

We studied four patients with distal, action-induced involuntary postures of the hand that could be considered focal dystonia. All four patients had electrophysiologic findings consistent with peripheral nervous system lesions (pronator teres syndrome, radial nerve palsy, lower brachial plexus lesion, or median nerve lesion).
