Abstract:

Dystonic storm or status dystonicus is a life-threatening hyperkinetic movement disorder with biochemical alterations due to the excessive muscle contractions. The medical management can require pediatric intensive care unit admission and a combination of medications while the underlying trigger is managed. Severe cases may require general anesthesia and paralytic agents with intubation and may relapse when these drugs are weaned. Deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidum has been reported to terminate dystonic storm in several pediatric cases. We present a 10-year-old boy with a de novo G

Abstract:

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which cause twisting movements or abnormal postures. Deep brain stimulation has been used to improve the quality of life for secondary dystonia caused by cerebral palsy. Despite being a viable treatment option for childhood dystonic cerebral palsy, deep brain stimulation is associated with a high rate of infection in children. The authors present a small series of patients with dystonic cerebral palsy who underwent a stepwise approach for bilateral globus pallidus interna deep brain stimulation placement in order

Abstract:

Successful reaching requires that we plan movements to compensate for variability in motor output. Previous studies have shown that healthy adults optimally incorporate estimates of motor variability when planning a pointing task. Children with dystonia have increased variability compared with healthy children. It is not known whether they are able to compensate appropriately for the increased variability and whether this compensation leads to changes in reaching behavior. We examined healthy children and those with increased motor variability due to secondary dystonia. Using a simple virtual

Abstract:

Dystonia diagnosis is based on clinical examination performed by a neurologist with expertise in movement disorders. Clues that indicate the diagnosis of a movement disorder such as dystonia are dystonic movements, dystonic postures, and three additional physical signs (mirror dystonia, overflow dystonia, and geste antagonists/sensory tricks). Despite advances in research, there is no diagnostic test with a high level of accuracy for the dystonia diagnosis. Clinical neurophysiology and genetics might support the clinician in the diagnostic process. Neurophysiology played a role in untangling d

Abstract:

Clinical Aspects Dyskinesias are abnormal involuntary movements. The common dyskinesias include tics, chorea, tremor, dystonia, myoclonus, and hyperactivity (Table 1). Several other less common dyskinesias also are important to recognize. The diagnosis of the type of movement disorder is clinical. When the movements are episodic and not seen by the pediatrician, obtaining a home videotape is recommended. Most patients who have movement disorders, with the exception of tic disorders, should be referred to a neurologist, but it is important for the pediatrician to be able to identify them and to

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-spreading CD. We performed a binary logistic regression model using spreading of cervical dystonia as dependent variable aiming to find covariates which increase the risk of spreading. RESULTS: Our logis

Recently separate control systems for postural and movement control have been found in primates. Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder and its cause it not well understood. We have observed that dystonia patients have preserved fine movement control, but difficulty maintaining the appropriate and sustained posture that supports these movements. Postural control requires multiple modalities of sensory input such as cutaneous, proprioceptive, vestibular and visual stimuli. Through clinical observation, dystonia is improved by sensory alteration. Sensorimotor integration dysfunction has be

Abstract:

Dystonia is a group of debilitating neurological movement disorders characterised by abnormal sustained or intermittent involuntary co-contraction of opposing muscle groups. While some forms of dystonia are caused by rare genetic mutations or acquired following a toxic or physical injury or other cause, the majority of cases arise with no clear aetiology. It is thought that these idiopathic dystonias manifest following a complex interaction between genetic susceptibility and non-genetic triggers. The inherited and idiopathic forms of dystonia share a number of symptomatic and physiological sim

Abstract:

Almost any neurological disorder can produce a disorder of movement but the ‘movement disorders’ include the akinetic rigid syndromes, hyperkinesias, and some tremors. It can sometimes seem, especially with the use of videotape recordings, that diagnosis of movement disorders is mainly a matter of correct visual recognition. Such an approach is not recommended and can lead to mistakes unless, as in other areas of medicine, the history is considered first and the physical signs second. Obvious examples include the family history in Huntington’s disease, developmental history in dystonic cerebra

Abstract:

Dystonic tremors are a commonly misdiagnosed group of primary tremor disorders, typically mistaken for Parkinson’s disease or essential tremor. Like most movement disorders, this is a clinical diagnosis, so the overlap in some features between all of these disorders can be confusing to less experienced and even more experienced physicians. A tremor in the presence of a dystonia is a dystonic tremor syndrome, regardless of the clinical features. Treatment of dystonic tremor can be challenging without the same gratifying response seen to levodopa in tremor associated with Parkinson’s disease or

Deep-brain stimulation is a last resort for the management of dystonia or dystonic movement disorders when oral or injectable therapies do not provide adequate relief to allow an acceptable quality of life. The underlying pathogenesis of dystonia is less well understood than in Parkinson’s disease, in which deep-brain stimulation is generally expected to provide effective and long-lasting benefit. Furthermore, it is likely that dystonia represents a number of different basal ganglia pathologies.

Classification of dystonia is based on age of onset, distribution of body parts affected, and underlying etiology. A large number of different genetic forms of dystonia have been discovered in recent years. Although these syndromes are important to recognize, the majority of dystonias encountered in clinical practice are of unknown cause. Therapy of dystonia includes medications, particularly anticholinergic drugs, use of botulinum toxins, and deep brain stimulation.

Abstract:

Introduction: Wilson’s disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting in hepatic and neurological symptoms. Uncommon presentations are prone to diagnostic and treatment delay. Objectives: Describe an atypical case of WD and improve clinicians awareness. Case report: A 19 years-old male presented to us with seizures and upper limb tremor in the past three years, evolving to torsion-like movements in limbs and trunk. He was unable to open his eyes and had severe dysphagia. There was no consanguinity, perinatal complications or neurodevelopmental delay. Examination revealed general

Abstract:

The architectural conservation and restoration movements emerged in the Western world in the mid-nineteenth century, in part as a reaction to the acceleration of visible aging of buildings caused by the Industrial Revolution and associated changes in air quality. At the same time, Enlightenment ideals established at the end of the eighteenth century reinforced the relatively new idea that a building could have a single author and a fixed state. A new drive towards ‘restoration’ – the return of a building to a glorified singular past state – led William Morris in 1877 to establish the Society f

Abstract:

Introducion: Spasticity is persistent increased muscle resistance to joint movement. Treatments for this condition aim to prevent or minimize its evolution into severe movement restrictions. Among the therapeutic options are the use of oral medications or the surgical approach for continuous baclofen infusion, in which two forms of administration can be used: intraventricular or intrathecal. However, the intraventricular approach has been replaced by the intrathecal approach in most cases, making it necessary to investigate in the literature the possible reasons for such a change. Perhaps it i
