We report 10 patients with delayed-onset dystonia associated with asphyxia in childhood.In the perinatal group,the mean age of onset was 12.9 years. Among these patients,dystonia continued to progress for a mean of 7 years, and as long as 28 years.These patients had moderate motor disability;none was wheelchair-bound,and thus their prognosis was better than that of the childhood-onset idiopathic torsion dystonias.The most frequently beneficial drugs were anticholinergics.Since some of these patients closely resembled cases of idiopathic torsion dystonia,the prior occurrence of asphyxia should be used as a criterion of exclusion for that diagnosis. |
