Dystonia is a condition where a person has uncontrollable muscle movements in some part of their body. This happens because of faulty signals coming from their brain. Dystonia can range from a short-term or temporary concern to a lifelong issue. Most cases are treatable, especially cases with a treatable or curable underlying cause.

Hemidystonia affects a leg and arm on one side of the body. Multifocal dystonia affects at least two different parts of the body. Segmental dystonia affects at least two parts of the body that are next to each other.

Besides ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes, other causes of hemidystonia include perinatal or other head trauma, thalamotomy, encephalitis, neurodegenerative disorders, arteriovenous malformation, and porencephalic cyst.

2025年1月25日 · Dystonia is a movement disorder that causes the muscles to contract. This can cause twisting motions or other movements that happen repeatedly and that aren't under the person's control. When the condition affects one part of the body, it's called focal dystonia.

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by nonstop (sustained) or occasional (intermittent) muscle contractions that cannot be controlled. Children with dystonia may experience contractions (appearing as spasms or convulsions) in opposing muscles, resulting in twisted or abnormal positioning of the body.

Dystonia is a movement disorder in which faulty signals from the brain cause parts of the body to twist, jerk or assume unusual postures.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hemidystonia is defined as dystonia restricted to one side of the body. It is traditionally believed to result from a lesion in the contralateral hemisphere. Objectives: To describe a series of hemidystonia patients without lesions on brain imaging.
