Posted By Chris Packham Paul I looked up dystonia in my medical dictionaries. One describes it as: "A postural disorder caused by disease of the basal ganglia in the brain. There is spasm in the muscles of the shoulder, neck and trunk. The arm is often held in a rotated position and the head is drawn back and to one side." The other largely agrees with this and goes on to state: "Dystonia may be resolved with anti-cholinergic drugs or with benzodiazapine drugs. In some cses, biofeedback training may help. Injections of botulinum toxin into the affected muscle are effective in treating some types of dystonia" In view of this, as it does not tie in with your description of the syndrome, has there been some confusion over the diagnosis?
