متن کاملThe phenomenology and treatment of idiopathic adult-onset truncal dystonia: a retrospective review
Background: Focal dystonia is the most common type of adult-onset dystonia; however, it infrequently affects truncal musculature. Although commonly attributed to secondary etiologies such as a neurodegenerative illness or tardive syndromes, the entity of idiopathic adult-onset truncal dystonia has only been previously described in a few case reports and small case series.
