A prevalence study of primary dystonia in eight European countries [PDF]
There have been few epidemiological studies of dystonia. Most previous studies have provided estimates based on few cases. A European prevalence study was undertaken to provide more precise rates of dystonia by pooling data from eight European countries.

Case Series: Dystonia with multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica
Dystonia is an uncommon complication of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) and related disorders. The types of dystonia described associated with MS are heterogenous, and the relationship between dystonia and MS remains unclear.

Craniocervical dystonia: clinical and pathophysiological features [PDF]
Blepharospasm, oromandibular, lingual, laryngeal and cervical dystonia are common forms of adult-onset dystonia. Each condition may appear in isolation or manifest along with other forms of craniocervical dystonia.

Epilepsy‐Associated Variants of a Single SCN1A Codon Exhibit Divergent Functional Properties
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in SCN1A, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel NaV1.1, are associated with multiple epilepsy syndromes exhibiting a range of clinical severity. SCN1A variants are reported in different syndromes, including Dravet syndrome, which is associated with loss‐of‐function, whereas neonatal/infantile‐onset ...

Posterior Cortical Atrophy in the Asia‐Pacific: A Report From the PCA Asian Workgroup
ABSTRACT Objective Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) is a distinct dementia syndrome primarily affecting spatial abilities and visual processing. It is associated with degeneration in the posterior part of the brain. PCA is subclassified into PCA‐pure and PCA‐plus syndromes based on consensus criteria.
