Two cases of oromandibular dystonia referred as temporomandibular joint disorder

چکیده
Oromandibular dystonia is thought to originate from a dysregulation of centrally mediated movement, whereby repetitive or sustained spasms of the masticatory, facial, or lingual muscles result in involuntary, and possibly painful jaw movement. Here we present 2 unique cases of oromandibular dystonia referred as temporomandibular joint disorders.

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...

متن کاملClinical, Etiological, and Therapeutic Features of Jaw-opening and Jaw-closing Oromandibular Dystonias: A Decade of Experience at a Single Treatment Center
BACKGROUND Dystonia is a heterogeneous hyperkinetic disorder. The anatomical location of the dystonia helps clinicians guide their evaluation and treatment plan. When dystonia involves masticatory, lingual, and pharyngeal muscles, it is referred to as oromandibular dystonia (OMD). METHODS We identified patients diagnosed with OMD in a Movement Disorders Clinic and Laryngeal Movement Disorders...
متن کاملPeripherally induced oromandibular dystonia.
OBJECTIVES Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a focal dystonia manifested by involuntary muscle contractions producing repetitive, patterned mouth, jaw, and tongue movements. Dystonia is usually idiopathic (primary), but in some cases it follows peripheral injury. Peripherally induced cervical and limb dystonia is well recognised, and the aim of this study was to characterise peripherally induced ...

Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) refers to involuntary spasms of masticatory, lingual, and pharyngeal muscles. Phenomenologically, there are seven types of OMD: jaw-closing dystonia (JCD); jaw-opening dystonia (JOD); jaw-deviation dystonia (JDD); lip and perioral dystonia; lingual dystonia; pharyngeal dystonia; and combination OMD (1). OMD may be seen in isolation (focal dystonia), as part of a mor...
