Pediatric arterial ischemic stroke involving the basal ganglia and/or thalamus is one of the most common causes of dystonia in children. Dystonia is a movement disorder in which excessive, involuntary muscle contractions result in twisting or repetitive movements, and abnormal posturing. The basal
BACKGROUND
Post-stroke movement disorders occur in up to 4% of stroke patients. The movements can be complex and difficult to classify, which presents challenges when attempting to understand the clinical phenomenology and provide appropriate treatment.
METHODS
We present a 64-year-old male with an
Lingual dystonia is extremely rare following stroke. We describe clinical features and neuroimaging findings in a series of 11 patients (seven acute and four chronic) with post-stroke lingual dystonia and review the literature.This was a case series using a BACKGROUND
Central post-stroke pain is known to be refractory to medications and difficult to manage. We present a case of central post-stroke pain associated with dystonia. Both conditions were successfully treated with a single deep brain stimulation (DBS) operation.
METHODS
A 60-year-old female
The delayed-onset focal or segmental dystonia is a rare sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. The responsible lesion sites for the dystonia are variable and the pathogenesis is uncertain. This study reports three patients with delayed-onset focal dystonia as a complication of stroke. The interval
Focal hand dystonia after stroke, a result of maladaptive plasticity, impairs hand function, affects daily activities, and undermines independence. A 59-year male patient, who had developed focal hand dystonia after suffering from ischemic stroke 5 years ago, received training following an injection
Reorganization of motor execution and imagination networks was studied in six patients with unilateral dystonia secondary to a subcortical stroke and compared with seven control subjects using fMRI. Patients performed imagined and real auditory-cued hand movements. Movements of the dystonic hand
OBJECTIVE
Dystonia is a disabling motor disorder often without effective therapies. To better understand the genesis of dystonia after childhood stroke, we analyzed electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings in this population.
METHODS
Resting spectral power of EEG signals over bilateral sensorimotor
Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a type of chronic cerebrovascular disease. Currently, revascularization surgery including direct/indirect procedure is recommended for symptomatic patients. However, some patients still respond poorly
BACKGROUND
Sleep disorders presenting involuntary movements may be very annoying to patients, apart from their negative influence on sleep.
OBJECTIVE
To report the use of botulinum type-A toxin (BoNT-A) to manage the case of a patient whose sleep was severely disrupted by episodes of dystonic
OBJECTIVE
To determine the effect of botulinum toxin A and task-specific training on upper limb function in post-stroke focal dystonia patients.
METHODS
A randomised control trial was conducted at hospitals in Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan, from October 2015 to September 2016. The subjects were
BACKGROUND
Childhood arterial ischemic stroke (CAIS) is increasingly recognized as an important cause of significant long-term morbidity in the pediatric population. Post stroke movement disorders, above all hemi-dystonias, are much more common in children after stroke compared to adults. However,
We report on a female with segmental dystonia of the upper limb after an anatomically related ischemic stroke. Dystonia developed almost 3 years after the onset of the stroke and immediately following the removal of the cast because of a bone fracture in the same limb. We discuss the case
Spastic dystonia is one of the positive phenomena of the upper motor neuron syndrome (UMNS). It is characterised by the inability to relax a muscle leading to a spontaneous, although stretch-sensitive, tonic contraction. Although spastic dystonia is a recognized cause of muscle The authors assessed bilateral motor and sensory function in individuals with upper limb dystonia due to unilateral perinatal stroke and explored interrelationships of motor function and sensory ability. Reach kinematics and tactile sensation were measured in 7 participants with dystonia and 9
