Oscillatory head movements in cervical dystonia: Dystonia, tremor, or both?
Cervical dystonia is characterized by abnormal posturing of the head, often combined with tremor-like oscillatory head movements. The nature and source of these oscillatory head movements is controversial, so they were quantified to delineate their characteristics and develop a hypothetical model for their genesis. A magnetic search coil system was used to measure head movements in 14 subjects ...
متن کاملIrregularity distinguishes limb tremor in cervical dystonia from essential tremor.
INTRODUCTION Patients with cervical dystonia (CD) often have limb tremor that is clinically indistinguishable from essential tremor (ET). Whether a common central mechanism underlies the tremor in these conditions is unknown. We addressed this issue by quantifying limb tremor in 19 patients with CD and 35 patients with ET. METHOD Postural, resting and kinetic tremors were quantified (amplitud...
متن کاملRetrocollis, anterocollis or head tremor may predict the spreading of dystonic movements in primary cervical dystonia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few studies have attempted to develop clinical predictors for cervical dystonia (CD) aiming at progression of the dystonic movement. METHOD We retrospectively evaluated 73 patients with primary CD who underwent treatment with Botulinum toxin type-A (BTX-A). The patients were assembled in two groups according to the spread of dystonia during follow-up: spreading and non-...
متن کاملFocal dystonia, tremor and myokymic discharges secondary to electrical injury
We describe the case of a male patient who developed electromyographically confirmed myokymia, dystonia and tremor and clinically confirmed focal dystonia and tremor, secondary to electrical injury. Dystonia is a rare complication of electrical injury. Myokymic discharges secondary to electrical injury are previously unreported. Dystonia and tremor EMG findings were present not only at the clin...
متن کاملTremor in a Bassoonist: Tremor in Dystonia or Essential Tremor?
JMD Dear Editor, Tremor is a common clinical feature in dystonia. It can be seen in both affected and unaffected body parts in patients with dystonia. Clinically, it may not be easily distinguishable from essential tremor, currently defined as a bilateral, largely symmetric postural or kinetic tremor involving the hands and forearms that is visible and persistent, with an associated or isolated...
