![]() Meige’s syndrome (blepharospasm plus oromandibular dystonia) is one of the more common examples. Segmental dystonias involve two or more contiguous regions. Examples include blepharospasm (periocular muscles), cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis), laryngeal (spasmodic dysphonia) dystonia, oromandibular dystonia, and limb dystonia. Focal dystonias involve an isolated body region. The dystonias are classified according to the parts of the body affected ( Table 1), the age at onset, and the underlying cause ( Table 2). It is defined as a syndrome of involuntary movement that manifests as excessive muscle contractions that frequently cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Dystonia is a neurological condition with a broad range of clinical manifestations that can emerge at any age. ![]()
