Symptoma

Oromandibular Dystonia

Focal Segmental or Multifocal Dystonia

In some patients the R1 component was also present on the side contralateral to the stimulus, while in normal subjects it was present only on the ipsilateral side. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Turkish

    We report on an unusual presentation of a task-specific focal oromandibular dystonia in a 47-year-old man of Turkish descent. His speech was affected exclusively while reciting Islamic prayers in Arabic language, which he otherwise did not speak. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Masseter Spasm

    She had bilateral masseter spasms and considerable difficulty in moving her jaw to the right, particularly when the upper dentures were in place. [dx.doi.org]

  • Numbness of the Tongue

    A 56 year-old female patient presented at the emergency department after ten days of chemotherapy with progressive airway obstruction and complaints of numbness of the tongue. She also had difficulty swallowing and was unable to speak. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Oral Ulcers

    The therapeutic approach adopted to reduce the severe oromandibular movements, dysphagia, and the numerous oral ulcers was selective electromyography (EMG)-guided botulinum toxin application to the inferior head of the lateral pterygoid muscles and masseters [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Muscle Contracture

    BACKGROUND: Oromandibular dystonia is a movement disorder that is characterized by involuntary masticatory and/or lingual muscle contracture. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    We have also researched movement disorders such as oromandibular dystonia, dyskinesia, and bruxism, as well as diseases caused by abnormal muscle contracture of the masticatory muscles, such as masseteric hypertrophy, hyperplasia of the coronoid process [sites.google.com]

  • Involuntary Tongue Protrusion

    She stopped wearing her lower dentures due to involuntary tongue protrusion and her inability to close her mouth. She used sensory tricks such as pulling her face up with a finger, which enabled her to eat, but still had difficulty in swallowing. [dx.doi.org]

  • Trigeminal Neuralgia

    neuralgia, and delayed developmental milestones. [dx.doi.org]

  • Delayed Milestone

    milestones, history of movement disorders such as cervical dystonia, essential tremor, and tics. 4 5 24-27 It is not known, however, whether these factors play an important, or any, part in the mechanism of peripherally induced OMD. [dx.doi.org]

Workup Patients should be evaluated for a family history of dystonia or the presence of other dystonias. [entokey.com]

  • Acanthocytes

    Routine blood tests, as well as tests for serum copper, ceruloplasmin, and acanthocytes, yielded normal results. Video-EEG monitoring did not detect abnormalities. [elsevier.es]

After BoNT treatment, there was a significant reduction in the mean total OMDQ-25 score at 4 weeks (38.2 17.6; p 0.004), as well as at 8 weeks (39.6 18.1; p 0.008). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis is poor and the treatment is symptomatic. This paper describes a case of a 38-year-old woman referred for a locked left TMJ who was diagnosed as having an oromandibular dystonia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Dr Salah Omer gave a lecture on Progressive Myoclonic Epilepsy, and Dr Bridget Mcdonald adressed the questions of the long term prognosis of cerebral palsy. I gave a lecture on the contribution of Botulinum toxin to Neurology over the last 25 years. [infodystonia.com]

It is not intended to provide instruction and you should not rely on this information to determine diagnosis, prognosis or a course of treatment. It should not be used in place of a professional consultation with a doctor. [dystonia.org.uk]

Types of dystonia: The many types of dystonia are divided into separate groups because of their implications for treatment and prognosis. [hopkinsmedicine.org]

Prognosis What is my prognosis? If dystonia develops in childhood, particularly if it starts in the legs, then in many (but not all) cases it will spread to other parts of the body and become generalised. [brainfoundation.org.au]

Clinical characteristics, etiology of brain injury, and pattern of dystonia were analyzed. Patients with clinically significant CD and OMD were treated with BTx and followed for 12 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

By definition, all cases of "dystonia plus" are secondary, although the etiology (eg, neuroleptics, Wilson disease, neuroacanthocytosis, trauma) may not always be obvious. [medlink.com]

Differential diagnosis of oromandibular dystonia and various etiologies were investigated. Neuroimaging studies revealed a left cerebellar infarction. [academiccommons.columbia.edu]

These results may be of value with regard to the conduct of multicenter epidemiologic and clinical studies on focal dystonias. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology, clinical features, and etiology Oromandibular dystonia affects women more frequently than men and the prevalence was estimated to be 68.9 cases per 1 million Americans (for reviews see Bhidayasiri et al. [2006]). [cambridge.org]

The effect of cholinergic agents was less than the effect of dopaminergic drugs, implying that dopamine plays a predominant role in the pathophysiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Possible roles of the cerebellum for the pathophysiology of oromandibular dystonia are discussed. Keywords: Dystonia, oromandibular dystonia, cerebrovascular disease Citation: Akin A, Yilmaz R, Selcuk F, et al. [academiccommons.columbia.edu]

In the last 10 years, authors have published several cases of patients with focal dystonia related to peripheral trauma and provided lists of possible pathophysiological mechanisms for this type of dystonia. 6 To the best of our knowledge, information [elsevier.es]

Our patient's dystonia was in the mouth and tongue, which were anatomically in accordance with the cerebellar homonculus. 27 The cellular pathophysiology of ataxia and dystonia seems to be different. [tremorjournal.org]

In the present case history, treatment for OMD was started as soon as the diagnosis of jaw-closing OMD was established, and dental treatment intervention for preventing its development or progression was considered at the same time. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Therefore, to prevent these and other complications, prompt and appropriate treatment of OMD is important. [dx.doi.org]
