- Abstract
- Dystonia can follow head trauma, especially with damage to the basal ganglia from any cause. The relationship between peripheral trauma and dystonia remains controversial. Blepharospasm, oromandibular dystonia, cervical dystonia, and limb dystonia have all been reported in the context of trauma to the affected body territory and in association with complex regional pain syndrome. Post-traumatic dystonia may be more likely to be painful, have a fixed posture, and be less responsive to treatment with botulinum toxin than idiopathic dystonia. © 2016 Elsevier Inc.
