Dystonia Musculorum Deformans This article submitted by Abigail Westwood on 1/12/97. Author's Email: EmmaPeel2@aol.com I am suprised that this forum has not addressed Dystonia Musculorum Deformans, which currently affects over 200,000 Americans and is MISDIAGNOSED 7 out of 10 times! I have had generalized dystonia for nearly 30 years, and undergone bilateral hypothalamectomies (scuse spelling) which resulted in a loss of speech. Now I receive injections of botulinum toxin to control the extraneous spasms in my neck and shoulders. I am always amazed when I meet other patients with dystonia, as the are constantly MISDIAGNOSED as having 1) cerebral palsy 2) multiple sclerosis - and most commonly, 3) Hysterical Mental Disorders. In fact, the great majority of these patients suffer in pain and embarrasment when told that there is nothing wrong with them, and are sent to a psychiatrist. I know several persons who have actually been committed to a mental institution because doctors were unable to put their finger on the problem.

Dystonia MOVEMENT DIAGNOSES INDEX What is dystonia? Dystonia is a general term used to describe failure of regulation of muscle tone, usually a sustained increase in muscle tone. When opposing muscles of an extremity have increased tone, there is a limitation of voluntary activity. When the increased tone of opposing muscles is not symmetrical, the extremity or trunk may be drawn into a distorted posture that cannot be overcome voluntarily. The most common form of dystonia is dystonia musculorum deformans. What is dystonia musculorum deformans and what are the symptoms? In the usual history, the first symptoms begin just prior to puberty, but they may occur anywhere between the ages of 3 and 15 or not until early adulthood. When the disease begins early, it usually involves the lower extremities first, and gait (walking) disturbance may be the only symptom for some time. When the disease begins later in life trunk and neck involvement is more likely to be the initial manifestation. The rate of progression of the symptoms is variable, but appears to be more rapid in patients whose symptoms appear early. The dystonia may progress to the point of almost complete immobility and death from secondary complications, usually pneumonia. What causes dystonia musculorum deformans?

(advertisement) Excerpt from Idiopathic Torsion Dystonia Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: DMD, dystonia musculorum deformans, movement disorder, Oppenheim disease, primary torsion dystonia Please click here to view the full topic text: Idiopathic Torsion Dystonia Background: Dystonia is a syndrome of sustained muscle contractions, usually producing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures (Fahn, 1987). In 1908, Schwalbe first described primary/idiopathic torsion dystonia in a Jewish family, and in 1911, Oppenheim termed this dystonia musculorum deformans (DMD). Initially believed to be a manifestation of hysteria, idiopathic torsion dystonia gradually became established as a neurological entity with a genetic basis. DMD or Oppenheim disease are terms now used for childhood- and adolescent-onset dystonia due to the gene. With the recent mapping of genes for idiopathic torsion dystonia and identification of a gene for early onset dystonia, the description idiopathic/primary dystonia has become outdated; it now may be viewed as secondary to or symptomatic of an identified cause. However, continuing to use "primary" torsion dystonia to classify a group of dystonias as a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of movement disorders is justifiable on the basis that dystonia is the primary and sole abnormality attributable to the condition, and degeneration on pathologic examination is not known. Primary torsion dystonia may be focal, segmental, multifocal, or generalized, depending on which anatomical sites are involved (see Table 1).

Z Top Words Dy dyad symmetry element dyad symmetry of DNA dyadic psychotherapy ... dysentery, bacillary A genetic, environmental, or idiopathic disorder, usually beginning in childhood or adolescence, marked by muscular contractions that distort the spine, limbs, hips, and sometimes the cranial-innervated muscles. The abnormal movements are increased by excitement and, at least initially, abolished by sleep. The musculature is hypertonic when in action, hypotonic when at rest. Hereditary forms usually begin with involuntary posturing of the foot or hand (autosomal recessive form ) or of the neck or trunk (autosomal dominant form ); both forms may progress to produce contortions of the entire body.
