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 ...
Focal dystonia is the most common form of primary dystonia characterized by involuntary twisting, abnormal postures and repetitive movements in a specific body part. Musician’s dystonia (MD) is a type of focal task-specific dystonia that presents with loss of voluntary motor control of extensively trained movements when a musician is playing his instrument. The pathophysiology of focal dystonia...
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 ...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term aerodynamic, acoustic, and electromyographic effects of serial botulinum toxin (BT) injections in patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia. DESIGN Two-year, nonrandomized, controlled, before-after study. SETTING Ambulatory care clinic at a single academic medical center. PATIENTS A convenience sample of 91 patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia ev...
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...
THE anesthesia literature is full of information and recommendations for safely administering general anesthesia to patients with various myotonic, neuromuscular, and vocal cord disorders; however, little is published on speech disorders and how these often vocal cord– related afflictions can influence anesthetic management. This report discusses an incident of laryngospasm in a patient with sp...
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...
INTRODUCTION This study prospectively evaluates and compares the treatment efficacy of botulinum toxin injection under electromyography guidance (EMG group) and percutaneous botulinum toxin injection under flexible fiberscopic guidance (fiberscopy group). METHODS Thirty patients with adductor spasmodic dysphonia (ADSD), who had never received treatment, were randomly allocated into EMG- or fi...
OBJECTIVE To investigate the longitudinal effects of botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections on voice-related quality of life (V-RQOL) for patients with adductory spasmodic dysphonia. DESIGN Prospective study. SETTING Academic tertiary care referral center. PARTICIPANTS Forty-two patients who presented to our institution with dysphonia and were diagnosed as having adductory spasmodic dy...
