Medientyp: E-Artikel Titel: Dystonia gravidarum: A new entity? Beteiligte: Lim, Erle Chuen‐Hian; Seet, Raymond Chee‐Seong; Wilder‐Smith, Einar P.V.; Ong, Benjamin Kian‐Chung Erschienen: Wiley, 2006 Erschienen in: Movement Disorders Sprache: Englisch DOI: 10.1002/mds.20648 ISSN: 0885-3185; 1531-8257 Schlagwörter: Neurology (clinical) ; Neurology Entstehung: Anmerkungen: Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>We describe cervical dystonia occurring in a 31‐year‐old, previously well, primigravid, primiparous Chinese woman at 4 weeks' amenorrhea, which was ameliorated with low‐dose clonazepam and disappeared completely by the end of the second trimester without recurring despite her being tapered off benzodiazepine therapy. Investigations were unremarkable for structural and biochemical causes of dystonia. Chorea, paraballismus, and restless legs syndrome are known to occur during pregnancy, attributable to high estrogen levels. Dystonia, on the other hand, has not been described to occur de novo in pregnancy. This association should be considered in women of reproductive age who present with cervical dystonia. © 2005 Movement Disorder Society</jats:p>
