Acute dystonia mimicking angioedema of the tongue: a video-illustrated case.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of acute dystonia of the face, jaw and tongue caused by metoclopramide and mimicking angioedema. The patient had attacks for several years before the correct diagnosis was made and we present the first ever published video footage of an attack. This adverse drug reaction is known, but might be underdiagnosed since it can mimic a wide range of other diseases.

A subtle mimicker in emergency department: Illustrated case reports of acute drug-induced dystonia.

Project description:BackgroundMovement disorder emergencies include any movement disorder which develops over hours to days, in which failure to appropriately diagnose and manage can result in patient morbidity or mortality.Movement disorder emergencies include acute dystonia: sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive, movements. Acute dystonia is a serious challenge for emergency room doctors and neurologists, because of the high probability of misdiagnosis, due to the presence of several mimickers including partial seizures, meningitis, localized tetanus, serum electrolyte level abnormalities, strychnine poisoning, angioedema, malingering, catatonia, and conversion.MethodsWe describe 2 examples, accompanied by videos, of acute drug-induced oro-mandibular dystonia, both subsequent to occasional haloperidol intake.ResultsManagement and treatment of this movement disorder are often difficult: neuroleptics withdrawal, treatment with benzodiazepines, and anticholinergics are recommended.ConclusionAlternative treatment options are also discussed.

Primary dystonia misinterpreted as Parkinson disease: Video case presentation and practical clues.

Project description:Diagnosing dystonia can be challenging and depends on the recognition of subtle clinical signs. Due to clinical heterogeneity, variable age at presentation, and overlapping features with other disorders, dystonia is under-recognized. The presence of dystonic tremor is often a reason for misdiagnosis. We report an illustrative case of a patient with DYT1 dystonia who was originally misdiagnosed with Parkinson disease. Careful physical examination and history-taking can reveal dystonia and prompt appropriate diagnostic studies, which, in turn, can lead to potentially life-changing treatment. Our report illustrates typical challenges in the recognition and diagnosis of dystonia, and serves to increase clinicians' awareness of this disabling, but treatable, condition.

Pharyngeal Dystonia Mimicking Spasmodic Dysphonia.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to describe the presentation of pharyngeal dystonia (PD), which can occur as a focal or segmental dystonia with a primarily pharyngeal involvement for the discussion of treatment methods for controlling consequent symptoms. PD is specific to speech-related tasks. METHODS:A retrospective medical record review of four patients with PD was performed. RESULTS:All patients were initially misdiagnosed with adductor spasmodic dysphonia and failed standard treatment with botulinum toxin type A (BTX). On laryngoscopy, the patients were discovered to have segmental or focal dystonia primarily affecting the pharyngeal musculature contributing to their vocal manifestations. A novel treatment regimen was designed, which involved directing BTX injections into the muscles involved in spasmodic valving at the oropharyngeal level. After titrating to an optimal dose, all patients showed improvement in their voice and speech with only mild dysphagia. These patients have maintained favorable results with repeat injections at 6- to 12-week intervals. CONCLUSIONS:PD, or dystonia with predominant pharyngeal involvement, is a rare entity with vocal manifestations that are not well described. It can be easily mistaken for spasmodic dysphonia. PD is specific to speech-related tasks. A novel method of BTX injections into the involved muscles results in a significant improvement in voice without significant dysphagia.

Axial Dystonia Mimicking Stiff Person Syndrome.

Project description:Both isolated axial dystonia and stiff person syndrome (SPS) are rare conditions that can look deceivingly similar. Here, we present three cases of axial dystonia resembling SPS with video documentation in order to illustrate the phenomenological similarities. We discuss clinical and paraclinical approaches to help distinction with its obvious implications for further management.

Musician's dystonia in a percussionist - clinical video analysis and botulinum toxin intervention: a case report.

Project description:ObjectiveMusician's focal hand dystonia is a painless task-specific focal dystonia, which presents with involuntary movements, abnormal postures, and loss of fine motor dexterity. We report here the case of a 63-year-old male, percussionist, with african ethnicity, with musician's focal hand dystonia who was treated with botulinum toxin, and describe the results at 4-weeks follow up.MethodsClinical examination and video analysis revealed abnormal flexion of the 3rd finger, followed by flexion of the 4th and 5th fingers while playing the congas. Based on these findings, a diagnosis of musician's focal hand dystonia was established. Ten units of botulinum toxin were injected into the muscle fibres of the flexor digitorum superficialis corresponding to the 4th finger using electromyography and ultrasound guidance. Four weeks later, the patient reported a subjective 60% improvement in his performance. He emphasized the effect of botulinum toxin on performance speed and tension over the forearm and hand.ConclusionBotulinum toxin is not a definitive treatment for musician's focal hand dystonia, but it may potentiate other definitive rehabilitation techniques. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects of botulinum toxin on function enhancement in musician's focal hand dystonia.

Ranking of Dystonia Severity by Pairwise Video Comparison.

Project description:BackgroundReviewers of dystonia rating scales agree on the need to assess symptoms more comprehensively. During the development of a quantitative dystonia assessment by video-perceptive computing, we devised a video-based severity ranking as a procedure to create a validation standard without the use of clinical scales.MethodsThirty-four patients with dystonia (17 with dystonic tremor) and 2 controls were assessed with clinical scales and video-recordings of 24 short movement tasks. Two to 4 raters compared multiple permutations of videos from 22 subjects, including 2 healthy controls, until a complete rank order was achieved. Inter-rater agreement was expressed as normalized Kendall tau distance. Spearman correlations of video rank order with clinical scales and self-rating were repeated for tremor/nontremor subgroups.ResultsNormalized Kendall tau distances were <0.3 for 15 items. The video rank order for sitting and head movements correlated with clinical scales for the whole group (rho 0.52-0.87) and in the subgroup without tremor. In the tremor subgroup such correlation was perceived in the 2 items involving sitting. Video rank order correlated with quality of life self-rating only in 1 item (arms held in front, palm down).ConclusionsThe agreement of video rankings between raters is remarkable. The lack of correlation in the tremor subgroup in several items may be interpreted as tremor being considered in video comparisons but not in clinical scales. This supports video-based ranking as a more comprehensive rating of dystonia and as a possible validation instrument applicable in situations in which no reference standard is available.
