Cervical dystonia: about familial and sporadic cases in 88 patients.
Cervical dystonia (CD) affects the musculature of the neck in a focal way or associated to other parts of the body. The aim of this study was to identify clinical differences between patients with dystonia patients without family history and with family history (sporadic). Eighty-eight patients with CD were recruited in a Movement Disorders Clinic between June of 2008 and June of 2009. Only pat...
متن کاملFamilial paroxysmal dystonia induced by exercise.
A mother and daughter are described with paroxysmal dystonia induced by exercise. As has been reported in one previous family, the attacks were provoked in the lower limbs by prolonged exertion but not by sudden movements. It was also found that involuntary movements could be induced focally in any limb either by local exercise or by sensory stimulation restricted to that limb.
متن کاملCervical Dystonia
There is now strong evidence demonstrating that bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) stimulation improves motor function and disability in patients with severe primary generalised, segmental or cervical dystonia. The improvement is gradual, typically occurring over a period of about six months, with pain and then phasic components dissipating before the tonic elements of dystonia. Controlle...
متن کاملCervical dystonia caused by focal putaminal ischemia
We describe a 48-year-old woman with putaminal gliosis and a sphenoid wing meningioma at the left, who developed dystonia restricted to cervical regions. We propose the following causal chain: the meningioma led to an occlusion of a lenticulo-striatal branch of the middle cerebral artery that caused ventral putaminal ischemia and finally resulting in symptomatic dystonia. The previously reporte...
متن کاملAcute Cervical Dystonia Induced by Clebopride
Antidopaminergic drugs are known to induce extrapyramidal symptoms. Clebopride, a dopamine antagonist, also can produce parkinsonism, tardive dyskinesia, tardive dystonia, hemifacial dystonia, or oculogyric crisis; however, acute dystonic reaction caused by clebopride has not been reported in adults. We report two young men who experienced acute cervical dystonia within a few days of taking cle...
