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?

Click here to go to Neurogram's home page Dystonia Dystonia is a neurologic syndrome characterized by involuntary, sustained, patterned and often repetitive muscle contractions of opposing muscles, causing twisting movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia is a fairly common neurological disorder with a prevalence of approximately 1 in 3,400 for focal dystonia and 1 in 29,400 for generalized dystonia.(1) If patients with drug-induced tardive dystonia related to neuroleptic medications and secondary dystonia related to brain injury are added to this group, the prevalence figure can probably be doubled and approaches that of multiple sclerosis.(2) All gender, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups are equally affected. Clinical presentation If one dichotomizes movement disorders to those with reduced movement (akinetic-rigid syndromes) versus those with excessive movement (hyperkinetic syndromes), dystonia falls into the hyperkinetic disorder category. However, distinguishing dystonia from other hyperkinetic movement disorders may be challenging. The clinical characteristic of dystonia that helps differentiate it from other hyperkinetic movement disorders is that dystonic movements are repetitive and stereotyped, with involvement of the same group of muscles. For instance, a patient with idiopathic cervical dystonia or spasmodic torticollis with involuntary right-head rotation will continue to have right-head rotation throughout the duration of his disorder.

65. An Excerpt The playwright is afflicted with generalized dystonia, (dystonia musculorum deformans), the most severe and painful form of this disorder. http://www.newsun.com/stormreadingSept.html

"STORM READING" a play by Neil Marcus Neil Marcus, the author and lead actor of the play, has a condition called dystonia. In this excerpt, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation wants to place an advertisement in the playbill which defines Neil's illness from their point of view. Neil has a different point of view. Pictured from top to bottom: Kathyrn Voice, Neil Marcus, Matthew Ingersoll. Matt: Neil, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation is interested in your show. Kathryn: They think you are a great role model. Matt: They see STORM READING as a great vehicle to tell the world about your condition. Kathryn: They want to put an ad in your playbill. It reads, (Ad appears on the screen and Matt reads it) The Dystonia Medical Research Foundation: Playwright Neil Marcus suffers from dystonia, a rare neurological disorder in which powerful involuntary muscle spasms twist and jerk the body into unusual postures. The playwright is afflicted with "generalized dystonia," (dystonia musculorum deformans), the most severe and painful form of this disorder. It denies his ability to speak, stand, walk and/or control sudden and sometimes bizarre movements. (Neil interrupts Matt here) Neil: Wait a minute. If they think that they can say anything they want, think again. For years I've been under the medical microscope. I've been called: twisted, paralyzed, tortured, afflicted, horribly disabled, disfigured, unintelligible and confined to a wheelchair.

67. Dy_hist dystonia musculorum deformans , eine Bezeichnung die heute http://www.kgu.de/znn/neurologie/epbs/dy_hist.htm

Kurze Geschichte der Dystonie Die Dystonie ist zwar noch relativ wenig bekannt, jedoch keineswegs eine neue Erkrankung. Aus der Antike gibt es Berichte, die den Schluss zulassen, dass der Redner Demosthenes an einem Torticollis spasmodicus sowie an einer spasmodischen Dysphonie gelitten haben könnte. Es ist nämlich überliefert, dass er sich beim Einüben seiner Reden eine Schwertspitze an das Kinn gehalten habe, um seinen Kopf an den unwillkürlichen Seitwärtsdrehungen zu hindern und auch, dass er versuchte, mit einem Kieselstein auf der Zunge seine nicht näher charakterisierte Sprachstörung zu heilen. Im 16. Jahrhundert malte Pieter Brueghel d.Ä. ein Porträt eines Mannes mit zusammengekniffenen Augen und wie zwanghaft geöffnetem Mund und nannte es "Der Gähner" (s. Abb.). Aus zeitgenössischen Berichten lässt sich schließen, dass es sich hier um einen Patienten handelte, der an einem Blepharospasmus in Verbindung mit einer orofazialen Dystonie vom Kieferöffnungstyp litt. Diese Erkrankung, die bei uns auch nach einem französischen Neurologen der Jahrhundertwende Meige-Syndrom (MEIGE; 1910) genannt wird, heißt im englischen und amerikanischen Sprachraum daher auch oft nach dem Maler "Brueghel-Syndrom".

View All Articles Please rate Dystonia Support for HealingWell.com 10 - Excellent 5 - Average 1 - Poor Todays Spotlight Article Pianomap : Dystonia Dystonia is distinct from injuries like tendonitis that affect muscles and tendons. In dystonia the brain's capacity to control movement is impaired. Muscles may tighten involuntarily, producing awkward, jerky movements. Hands or fingers may fail to respond to conscious commands, or respond in unintended ways. Fingers may clench involuntarily instead of touching the intended key. The condition may not be painful, but the emotional stress and frustration endured by musicians suffering from dystonia is immense. Dystonia has ended the careers of some famous and wonderful musicians. Dystonia can affect any part of the body, and it takes many forms. Some dystonias are devastating conditions that affect large areas of the body, distort posture and speech, make driving, walking, talking or eating difficult or impossible. Some dystonias seem to be congenital, perhaps genetic. The cause of these conditions is not well understood, nor is there any reliable cure. Other forms of dystonia are not congenital but appear later in life. Acquired dystonia often affects only a specific part of the body, perhaps just one finger, which may uncontrollably clench or freeze or shoot out to the side. Dystonia of this sort is called "focal dystonia" and it is the sort that most often occurs in pianists. Focal dystonia usually affects parts of the body that are subject to constant use in an activity like writing or piano playing. Sometimes the affected part, a finger, for example, responds normally in other activities and becomes uncontrollable only in the context of the specific activity of writing or piano playing.

74. DMRF: Forms Of Dystonia: Early-Onset Generalized Dystonia Historically, earlyonset generalized dystonia has also been referred to as idiopathic torsion dystonia and dystonia musculorum deformans. Back to top. http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/defined/early.asp

To view specific content on this page, click on a category above. Early-Onset Generalized Dystonia Cable/T1 (Get RealPlayer) What is it? Early-onset generalized dystonia, the most common hereditary form of dystonia, is characterized by the twisting of the limbs, specifically the foot/leg or hand/arm. The spasms may spread to involve twisting contractions of other parts of the body. Back to top Symptoms Symptoms in early-onset generalized dystonia can range from twisted postures, turning in of the foot or arm, muscle spasms, unusual walking with bending and twisting of the torso, rapid, sometimes rhythmic, jerking movements; and progression of symptoms leading to sustained or fixed postures. Because the legs and trunk are so commonly affected in early-onset generalized dystonia, abnormal gait may be common. Factors such as age and site play a significant role in the progression of early-onset generalized dystonia. The younger the age of onset, the more likely the dystonic symptoms will begin in one of the legs, spread upward to other areas, and possibly become generalized. Symptoms commonly begin with a specific action, that is, the abnormal movements appear with a specific action, and are not present at rest. For example, if it begins in one leg, the symptoms may only be present when walking and disappear when the child runs or walks backwards.

The dystonias are movement disorders in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. The movements, which are involuntary and sometimes painful, may affect a single muscle; a group of muscles such as those in the arms, legs, or neck; or the entire body. Diminished intelligence and emotional imbalance are not usually features of the dystonias. What are the symptoms? Early symptoms may include a deterioration in handwriting after writing several lines, foot cramps, and a tendency of one foot to pull up or drag after running or walking some distance. The neck may turn or pull involuntarily, especially when tired. Other possible symptoms are tremor and voice or speech difficulties. The initial symptoms can be very mild and may be noticeable only after prolonged exertion, stress, or fatigue. Over a period of time, the symptoms may become more noticeable and widespread and be unrelenting; sometimes, however, there is little or no progression.
