Associated persons: Hermann Oppenheim Marcus Walter Schwalbe Henry Hubert Turner Georg Theodor Ziehen Description: A familial torsion spasm due to a lesion of the basal ganglia. It begins in one leg and gradually progresses to severe disability. It is characterized by an overextension or over flexion of the hand; inversion of the foot, producing a classical dromedary gait; latero- or retroflexion of the head, torsion of the spine with arching and twisting of the back, forceful closure of the eyes, and a fixed grimace. Usually unilateral. Onset between 5 and 15 years of age. Mostly in Semitic peoples. Both autosomal dominant, recessive, and X-linked forms have been described. Familial cases frequently in Jewish kindreds of eastern European origin. The Polish neurologists Edward Flatau (1869-1932) and Wladyslaw Sterling (1877-1943) described the same condition, also in 1911. Bibliography: M. W. Schwalbe:

Associated persons: Edward Flatau Wladyslaw Sterling Description: Dystonia is a neurologic syndrome characterized by involuntary, sustained, patterned, and often repetitive muscle contractions of opposing muscles causing twisting movements or abnormal postures. The term dystonia musculorum deformans, coined by the German neurologist Hermann Oppenheim (1858-1919) in 1911, was criticized by Flatau and Sterling (1911) because fluctuating muscle tone was not necessarily characteristic of the disorder, the term musculorum incorrectly implied that the involuntary movement was due to a muscle disorder, and not all patients became deformed. They highlighted the genetic nature of the disorder and suggested the term progressive torsion spasm.

Studies Show Elan Pharmaceutical's Botulinum Toxin "B" (NeuroBloc) Injectable Solution Helps Patients with Cervical Dystonia (Torticollis, Wry or Twisted Neck) E lan Pharmaceuticals (headquartered in Ireland with offices in South San Francisco) recently announced the results of two pivotal studies published in Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology. These studies mean new hope for thousands of patients with cervical dystonia (wry neck, torticollis), a painful, chronic, and disabling condition. After Essential Tremor (ET) and Parkinson disease, dystonia is the most common movement disorder. Although dystonia's not directly related to Parkinson disease, dystonia patients have elements of Parkinson. And Parkinson patients have elements of dystonia including muscle spasms, painful cramping of their arms and legs, forced eye-lid closure (blepharospasm). Dystonia results in painful and prolonged contractions (spasms) of muscles. Dystonia may be localized to a single muscle as in blepharospasm (which involves the eye-lids). Or dystonia may be localized to a group of muscles (focal dystonia) as in cervical dystonia (which involves the neck and shoulder muscles) or as in writer's dystonia, or writer's cramp (which involves the hand muscles). Or dystonia may be multi-focal as in oro-facial or oro-facial-mandibular-facial dystonia, also called Meige syndrome (which involves several muscles in different body regions). Or dystonia may be generalized as in Dystonia Musculorum Deformans.

26. Clinical Research - Personal Accounts generalised dystonia deformans. Why did you undertake a clinical researchproject on dystonia musculorum deformans? In November 1996 http://www.chu-montpellier.fr/gb/rc-temoi02.html

Personal accounts Generalised dystonia deformans: Prof. Philippe Coubes of Neurosurgery describes his research project on generalised dystonia deformans. Why did you undertake a clinical research project on dystonia musculorum deformans? The team in your unit is working on several subjects. What are these? The research topics are: - Agathe Roubertie: pheno-genotypical characterisation of dystonic syndromes, DOPA receptor mapping, creation of an international database of generalised dystonic syndromes; - Nathalie Vayssieres: validation of stereotactic neurosurgery using MRI (detection and treatment of distortions, 3D modelling of basal ganglia, introduction of framed fusion imaging); - Simone Hemm: study of variations in brain impedance in stimulated dystonic children, influence on the choice of target, influence of the effects of therapy; - Laura Cif: development and assessment of a computer scale for clinical rating of dystonia. 25 patients have so far been treated within the framework of a Huriet Act protocol. Results are very encouraging. Montpellier CHU is in a pioneer position and is the only centre providing this treatment which is highly restrictive in terms of equipment and costs. French medical teams refer their patients to us. Foreign patients cannot be treated. What pitfalls did you meet with during the project?

EXPERIENCE WITH STEREOTACTICS FOR DYSTONIA: CASE EXAMPLES Robert P. Iacono, Sandra M. Kuniyoshi, and Tony Schoonenbert Neuroscience and Movement Disorders Center, Loma Linda University Medical Center, Loma Linda, CA 92354 From: Dystonia 3: Advances in Neurology, Vol. 78 1998 Stereotactic surgical interventions in dystonia have in the past been applied to a variable population of patients with widely differing diagnoses and disease expression. These operations have included targeting various nuclei of the thalamus including Voa, Vop, Vim, centromethan (CM), the subthalamic areas H , H and zona incerta, the internal nucleus of the pallidum, and the dentate nuclei of the cerebellum (2,4,5,10,15). The choice of targets for dystonia, as for stereotactics in general, has been empiric, broadly based on past evidence of the efficacy of these targets for movement disorders in general, with no described discrimination of different targets for different presentations or diagnosis (4,17). Historically, however, it appears that the results of these operations are exquisitely sensitive to target and technique, as evidenced by their having fallen out of clinical use, following reports of unsatisfactory results of some operations, compounded by the inability of surgeons to easily reproduce another surgeon's successful rendition of the operation (5,16,19). The failure of thalamotomy to consistently alleviate the symptoms of primary generalized dystonia as reported by Yamashiro and Tasker in 25 patients in 1993, and others stands in contrast to our pallidotomy dystonic case reported here (4,12,20,24). Although Cooper and others report numerous good results for dystonia with both pallidotomy and thalamotomy, the actual targets obtained and a correlation with results is less clear-cut as these operations were accomplished before magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) were available to evaluate pre- and postoperative targets (5,10, 16). Of the few patients treated for writer's cramp with stereotactics, thalamotomy) shown to be particularly successful, suggesting the significant influence of the thalamus in putatively cortically mediated dystonias (22). The few additional cases reported here stress the limited utility, and to broaden the knowledge base of stereotactics for dystonia.

33. About Dystonia (a) Sometimes the dystonia is more widespread Segmental and GeneralisedDystonia (dystonia musculorum deformans). The majority of cases http://www.dystonia.org.uk/aboutdystonia/aboutdystonia(a).html

WHAT IS DYSTONIA? Dystonia is the term used to describe a condition dominated by involuntary sustained muscle spasms which can be extremely painful. These can affect various parts of the body and cause abnormal movements and postures. PRIMARY (Idiopathic Torsion) DYSTONIA Spasmodic Torticollis the commonest of the focal dystonias, involves the neck, the muscle spasms causing the neck to twist to one side (torticollis), forwards (antecollis) or backwards (retrocollis). The neck may pull, turn or jerk; eventually it may be held permanently in one direction. Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia of the muscles around the eyes. Early symptoms may be uncontrollable blinking, especially in bright light. Sometimes spasms can become so frequent that the eyelids remain tight shut, making the patient unable to see even though the eyes and vision itself are normal. Oromandibular Dystonia is a focal dystonia of the muscles of the jaw, tongue and mouth. The spasms may cause the mouth to pull open or shut tight. Speech and swallowing may be distorted. Cranial Dystonia Laryngeal Dystonia is a focal dystonia of the speech muscles of the throat causing strained or forced speech (sometimes called spasmodic dysphonia), or inability to speak in more than a whisper (whispering dysphonia). Some patients with cranial dystonia may also have laryngeal dystonia.

35. Dystonie Ten tweede ter aanduiding van de ziekte die gekenmerkt wordt door dystonieals enig en op zichzelf staand symptoom dystonia musculorum deformans. http://www.dystonievereniging.nl/dystonie.htm

Wat is Dystonie ? Wat verstaan we onder dystonie? Dystonie is letterlijk vertaald: een stoornis in de spanning van een spier (=tonus). De spierspanning is vaak te hoog, maar op andere momenten weer normaal. De dystonie wordt niet alleen gekenmerkt door onwillekeurige, wisselende spierspanningen, maar ook door een verstoring van het normale samenwerkingspatroon van de betreffende spieren. Daardoor ontstaan draaiende, wringende bewegingen en ook abnormale houdingen van een of meer lichaamsdelen. De dystone bewegingen kunnen in alle lichaamsdelen optreden, zowel in rust als tijdens een willekeurig uitgevoerde beweging. Het woord dystonie wordt vaak in twee betekenissen gebruikt. Ten eerste ter beschrijving van het symptoom zelf, en om dit te onderscheiden van andere vormen van onwillekeurige spiersamentrekkingen, zoals beven of spasticiteit. Ten tweede ter aanduiding van de ziekte die gekenmerkt wordt door dystonie als enig en op zichzelf staand symptoom: dystonia musculorum deformans. Meestal valt een beginnende dystonie het eerst op bij het uitvoeren van een willekeurige beweging of het handhaven van een bepaalde houding. Zo wordt een torticollis spasmodica vaak het eerst opgemerkt tijdens zitten of staan zonder ondersteuning van het hoofd en nemen de verschijnselen toe tijdens lopen, terwijl de patiënt geen klachten heeft tijdens het rusten met het hoofd gesteund op een kussen. Een ander voorbeeld is de schrijverskramp, waarbij dystonie van de hand aanvankelijk alleen optreedt tijdens schrijven, maar na verloop van tijd vaak ook bij andere handelingen. De dystonia musculorum deformans kan beginnen met een dystonie in één been alleen tijdens het lopen, terwijl de patiënt bij het dansen, hardlopen of achteruitlopen geen enkele last heeft. Tijdens het verdere beloop breidt de dystonie zich uit naar andere lichaamsdelen en ontstaat er ook dystonie bij andere bewegingen en in rust.

38. DYSTONIA The drug of longest experience in all the dystonias and the most effectiveagent for idiopathic torsion dystonia (dystonia musculorum deformans). http://www.neuro.wustl.edu/neuromedical_treatment/dystonia.html

DYSTONIA The following drugs have been used, with variable and unpredictable success, often with undesireable side effects, in virtually all of the many generalized, segmental and focal syndromes........baclofen, clonazepam, diphenhydramine, trihexyphenidyl. Injection into the affected muscle of botulinum toxin type A (BOTOX) has been used extensively and successfully in all the syndromes. Duration of effect varies from 3-6 months. Some patients have received as many as 12 treatments in a 5 year period. The limitations of the procedure are obvious.....skilled practitioners not generally available, short duration of benefit, uncertainty regarding long term effects after many treatments. Baclofen Lioresal. Scored tab 10, 20 mg. Much less often effective in dystonia than in spasticity due to pyramidal tract pathology. Initial dose 10 mg bid or tid, may be increased to as much as 80-120 mg od in divided doses. Clonazepam Klonopin. Scored tab 0.5, 1, 2 mg. Initial dose 0.5-1 mg od or bid, may be increased, slowly, to as much as 20 mg od in divided doses. Most patients cannot tolerate more than 4-8 mg od because of drowsiness. Diphenhydramine Benadryl.
