In primary (isolated) dystonia the dystonic symptoms, which reflect the impairment of the motor system function, are the only disease's manifestation. Primary dystonia is the most prevalent form of dystonia syndrome, with a prevalence of about 16 per 100,000 in general population (Steeves, Day,...
Features in the history and physical examination will reveal both clinical inconsistencies and incongruities with organic dystonia that support a psychogenic cause for the patient's symptoms. Patients with psychogenic dystonia suffer from motor conversion disorder, and co-morbid depression, anxiety and ...
is no cure for dystonia. Nevertheless, there is a spectrum of therapies addressing specific symptoms that range from systemic medication, local injections ofbotulinum toxinin affected muscles todeep brain stimulation(DBS).DBShas proven safe and effective in segmental/generalized dystonia and more recentl...
The adverse effects of anticholinergics encompass central and autonomic symptoms (Fig.2). Central side effects include sedation, cognitive slowing, confusion, memory impairment, psychosis and chorea. Autonomic side effects include blurred vision due to mydriasis, dry mouth, urinary retention and constipa...

In order to improve the diagnosis and expand the knowledge of the disease, we collected and analyzed relevant data of clinical diagnosis and molecular mutational analysis in five Chinese patients with DRD. The patients presented with heterogenous symptoms of neurologic disorders. One novel mutation p....
