[Oromandibular dystonia. Clinical forms, diagnosis and examples of therapy with botulinum toxin].
The present study reports on our experience with clinical aspects and therapy of oromandibular dystonia (OMD) with botulinum toxin A. OMD is a very rare form of focal dystonias. The clinical symptoms can vary considerably, depending on the musculature affected. ⋯ The therapy for OMD using botulinum toxin A has proved to be successful, the amount of improvement in this form of dystonia is, however, lower in comparison to other forms of mobility disorders in the head and neck region.
