## Abstract We report on monozygotic male twins of German origin with early onset cervical dystonia. No other family members were affected. Although identical in age of onset and clinical course, there were phenotypic variations. While the secondβborn, more affected twin suffered from a symmetric r

## Abstract We report the first family with adult onset cervical dystonia in which monozygotic twins and multiple family members are affected. In this family, the disease exhibits an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, and all affected members have only cervical dystonia. Five members have defi
## Abstract Sensory gestes (SG) are a pathognomonic sign of dystonia, which can be detected in up to two thirds of patients with cervical dystonia (CD). They reduce dystonia severity markedly but transiently. We report a patient whose CD substantially worsened with sensory input to the back of the
## Abstract The excitability of brainstem neurons is abnormally enhanced in patients with cervical dystonia (CD), but the extend of such abnormality is not known. We examined whether patients with CD showed abnormalities in the auditory startle response (ASR), a brainstem reflex elicited by an unex
## Abstract Clinical scales of patients with cervical dystonia do not rate neck movement velocity. We prospectively measured range of neck movements and movement velocities in 35 consecutive patients with cervical dystonia (CD) and 29 normal controls. Reduction of peak velocities in patients with C
