Primary dystonia is thought to be a disorder of the basal ganglia because the symptoms resemble those of patients who have anatomical lesions in the same regions of the brain (secondary dystonia). However, these two groups of patients respond differently to therapy suggesting differences in pathophysiological mechanisms. Pathophysiological deficits in primary dystonia are well characterized and...
background : deep brain stimulation (dbs) of the globuspallidusinternus (gpi) is recommended as a promising technique for the management of the primary generalized dystonia (pgd) with dyt1 gene mutation. we present the first report of dbs results in iranian patients with dyt1 positive pgd. methods : nine patients who suffered from severely disabling dyt1 positive pgd consecutively were recrui...
Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions that produce repetitive movements and abnormal postures. Specific information on the prevalence of dystonia has been difficult to establish because the existing epidemiological studies of the condition have adopted different methodologies for case ascertainment, resulting in widely differing reported pre...
BACKGROUND To our knowledge, no study has assessed the validity of family history data provided by probands with adult-onset dystonia. OBJECTIVE To measure the sensitivity and specificity of interviewing patients with primary adult-onset dystonia as a method for obtaining information on dystonia in first-degree relatives. PARTICIPANTS Seventy probands with primary adult-onset dystonia were ...
Dystonia is defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by involuntary sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing twisting, often repetitive movements, and postures. Paroxysmal dyskinesias are episodic movement disorders encompassing dystonia, chorea, athetosis, and ballism in conscious individuals. Several decades of research have enhanced the understanding of the etiology of h...
Muscle ultrasound (MUS) is increasingly used by neurologists, neuropediatricians, neurosurgeons, specialized radiologists and anaesthesiologists for the imaging-supported diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. Especially, MUS highly sensitive in detecting fasciculations motor neuron diseases, revealing intensive care unit acquired weakness. Hereditary inflammatory myopathies are associated with ...
INTRODUCTION Pallidal deep brain stimulation (GPi-DBS) is an effective therapy for isolated dystonia, but 10-20% of patients show improvement below 25-30%. We here investigated causes of insufficient response to GPi-DBS in isolated dystonia in a cross-sectional study. METHODS Patients with isolated dystonia at time of surgery, and <30% improvement on the Burke-Fahn-Marsden dystonia-rating-sca...
UNLABELLED Temporomandibular disorders are a set of musculoskeletal dysfunctions within the masticatory system, with multiple etiologies. OBJECTIVE Since craniocervical dystonia can involve the same neuromuscular structure as the temporomandibular joint, we sought to assess the correlation between temporomandibular disorders and craniocervical dystonia. METHOD We applied the Research Diagno...
Dear Editor, Dystonia is a movement disorder characterised by sustained muscle contractions, repetitive twisting movements, and abnormal postures of the trunk, neck, face, or arms and legs.1 Classifi cation of this condition may be based on topography, age at onset, cause, or by the presence of genetic markers.1 When unaccompanied by other neurologic abnormalities, and in the absence of known c...
OBJECTIVE To review the clinical characteristics and associated features found in patients with psychogenic dystonia. METHODS A 10 year retrospective chart review of all patients diagnosed by the author as having psychogenic dystonia. RESULTS Eighteen patients fulfilled diagnostic criteria for "Documented" or "Clinically Established" psychogenic dystonia. Clinical characteristics of the dys...
