Abstract

Our knowledge of the clinical, neurophysiological, and genetic aspects of myoclonus‐dystonia (M‐D) has improved markedly in the recent years. Basic research has provided new insights into the complex dysfunctions involved in the pathogenesis of M‐D. On the basis of a comprehensive literature search, this review summarizes current knowledge on M‐D, with a focus on recent findings. We also propose modified diagnostic criteria and recommendationsfor clinical management. Β© 2008 Movement Disorder Society
