Pathophysiological mechanisms of oromandibular dystonia

Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) is a rare form of focal idiopathic dystonia. OMD was clinically identified at the beginning of the 20th century, and the main clinical features have been progressively described over the years. However, OMD has several peculiarities that still remain unexplained, including the high rate of oral trauma, which is often related to the onset of motor symptoms. The purpose of this paper was to formulate a hypothesis regarding the pathophysiology of OMD, starting from t...

Does epilepsy contribute to the clinical phenotype of C9orf72 mutation in fronto-temporal dementia?

C9orf72 mutation is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) worldwide. Recently, several reports of patients with FTD who carried the C9orf72 mutation and also manifested epilepsy have been published, since seizures occur in FTD at a higher rate than in the general population, the possible association between epilepsy and C9orf72 mutation remains to be clarified. In the attempt to understand whether epilepsy contributes to the phe...

Longitudinal evaluation of patients with isolated head tremor

Introduction: Isolated head tremor, a pathological condition characterized by head tremor without dystonic postures or tremor in other body parts, has recently been suggested to be a form of dystonia. It is however still unclear whether isolated head tremor precedes dystonia or remains unmodified overtime. Methods: We enrolled 20 patients with isolated head tremor. For each patient, we assessed videos recorded at enrollment and after 5 years. The videotapes were reviewed by two independent ex...

Neurofilament assessment in patients with cervical dystonia

We evaluated levels of serum neurofilament light chains (NfL), a known biomarker of neuroaxonal damage, in patients with cervical dystonia (CD) and healthy controls (HCs). CD patients had normal NfL levels supporting the hypothesis that CD may be considered as a functional network disorder rather than as a neurodegenerative disease.
