Cervical Dystonia (CD) is the most common form of focal dystonia with an incidence of 8.9
per 10,000 people [9]. The majority of cases are idiopathic, and secondary CD is associated …

Background Secondary cervical dystonia is induced by organic brain lesions involving the
basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum, and brain stem. It is extremely rare to see cervical …

Background Focal dystonia of acute onset is indicative of a structural lesion in the nervous
system. Cerebellar lesions have rarely been associated with dystonia. Case Description A …

Background There is evidence from animal studies, post-mortem pathology, functional
imaging and neurophysiological studies to suggest that the cerebellum may be involved in …

Cervical dystonia (CD) is usually an idiopathic disorder that results in abnormal movements
and painful postures of the neck. Although symptomatic CD caused by focal CNS lesions …

In a recent issue of Experimental Neurology, Prudente et al.(2012) investigated the
neuropathology of cervical dystonia in six patients. Their most important finding was a …

The basal ganglia-motor loop is considered a neural substrate related to dystonia [1]. More
recently, the cerebellar-motor loop has been implicated as a key anatomical region …

Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle
contractions causing abnormal, and often repetitive, movements, postures, or both [1]. It has …

Sažetak Although post-stroke dystonia is usually associated with lesions of the lentiform
nucleus, recent reports suggest that cerebellum plays a key role in the pathogenesis of …
