Objective: To present a case of diaphragmatic dystonia, discuss prevalence, and a practical approach to work up and treatment of this condition. Background: Diaphragmatic dystonia…Brain networks revealed by resting state functional MRI in familial and sporadic primary dystonia
Objective: To identify disease-related brain networks in hereditary and sporadic primary dystonia using resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI). Background: Abnormalities of the cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CbTC) pathways have…Striatal and pedunculopontine nucleus diffusion tensor imaging in cervical dystonia
Objective: To characterize white matter integrity in the striatum and pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) in patients with cervical dystonia using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Background: The…Impaired processing of visuo-spatial information in cervical dystonia patients
Objective: The goal of our study was to investigate the spatial distribution of visual processing resources in cervical dystonia (CD) patients with a pure left…Yearly four months’ disability gap in cervical dystonia due to run-out botulinum toxin effect
Objective: To investigate the causes of disability in patients with cervical dystonia. Background: Despite the development of medical treatment, cervical dystonia impairs the daily living…An update on genotype-phenotype correlation in X-linked dystonia-parkinsonism (XDP/DYT3)
Objective: To further characterize the severity, movement abnormalities, and disease course in an expanded cohort of subjects and their families with XDP and determine if…Dystonia-deafness syndrome caused by beta -actin gene mutation and the effect of pallidal deep brain stimulation
Objective: To report on two patients with dystonia-deafness syndrome associated with a mutation in the beta actin gene and a positive effect of pallidal deep…Temporal discrimination threshold and the menstrual cycle
Objective: To demonstrate the absence of any significant difference in weekly TDT values during two consecutive menstrual cycles in healthy female volunteers. Background: Temporal discrimination…Long-term effects of a short inpatient rehabilitation course and peer support in dystonia
Objective: To evaluate long- term effects of an inpatient rehabilitation course in dystonia. Background: The participants immediate feedback after the rehabilitation course is positive and…Unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia
Objective: We investigated the validity of unilateral pallidotomy for cervical dystonia using severity scale of Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS, range: 0-35). Background:…
