Differential Diagnosis of Movement Disorders in Clinical Practice

… (1)Department of Neurology, Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. BACKGROUND: Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is an autosomal dominant inherited movement disorder. Various mutations within the epsilon-sarcoglycan (SGCE) gene have been associated with M-D, but mutations are detected in only about 30% of patients. In 7 children, the diagnosis of myoclonus-dystonia was not considered by the referring child neurologists, which led to extensive investigations and a delay in the final diagnosis. In this report, the authors highlight the need for increased awareness of this entity among child neurologists.

Myoclonus dystonia diagnosis

Se hela listan på mayoclinic.org Myoclonic dystonia or Myoclonus dystonia syndrome is a rare movement disorder that induces spontaneous muscle contraction causing abnormal posture. The prevalence of myoclonus dystonia has not been reported, however, this disorder falls under the umbrella of movement disorders which affect thousands worldwide. Myoclonus dystonia results from mutations in the SGCE gene coding for an integral membrane protein found in both neurons and muscle fibers. Those suffering from this disease Myoclonus-dystonia (M-D) is a rare and complex neurological movement disorder that affects individuals and families around the world. Treatments are available and researchers are actively pursuing improved therapies and ultimately a cure.

Diagnosis of myoclonus dystonia is based on family history from the affected individual and the physical and neurological examination. If the condition presents with both myoclonus and dystonia, it may be classified as “myoclonus dystonia” or “hereditary dystonia with lightning jerks responsive to alcohol.” Gerrits et al. (2006) reported 31 unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of myoclonus-dystonia, of whom 7 were found to have mutations in the SGCE gene. Clinical comparisons between mutation-positive and mutation-negative patients showed that the former had earlier disease onset before age 20 years.

Approximately 50% SGCE myoclonus-dystonia (SGCE-M-D) is a movement disorder characterized by a combination of rapid, brief muscle contractions (myoclonus) and/or sustained twisting and repetitive movements that result in abnormal postures (dystonia). The myoclonic jerks typical of SGCE-M-D most often affect the neck, trunk, and upper limbs with less common involvement of the legs. Myoclonus-dystonia. Myoclonus-dystonia is an autosomal dominant form usually associated with ε-sarcoglycan, DYT11 mutation on chromosome 7q21. Fifty per cent of gene carriers have dystonia.

diagnosis and treatment Abstract: Myoclonus is a sudden, brief, involuntary muscle jerk. It is caused by abrupt muscle contraction, in the case of positive myoclonus, or by sudden cessation of ongoing muscular activity, in the case of negative myoclonus (NM).

In patients with idiopathic dystonia, neurophysiological tests can help with Myoclonus-dystonia is a movement disorder typically characterized by childhood-onset subcortical multifocal myoclonus that predominates over focal/segmental dystonia, with prominent upper body involvement. 1 The typical phenotype is “lightning-like” myoclonic jerks, aggravated by action (postural and kinetic myoclonus) and dramatically improved after alcohol ingestion.
