Dystonia is an involuntary, repetitive, sustained (tonic), or spasmodic (rapid or clonic) muscle contraction. The spectrum of dystonias can involve various regions of the body. Oromandibular dystonia (OMD) can involve the masticatory, lower facial and the tongue muscles which may results in trismus, bruxism, involuntary jaw opening or closure and involuntary tongue movement. Here, we report a case of OMD in a 68 year old man.
肌张力障碍是一种不自主的、重复性的、持续性(强直性)或痉挛性(快速或阵挛性)肌肉收缩。肌张力障碍的范围可累及身体的各个部位。口下颌肌张力障碍(OMD)可累及咀嚼肌、面部下部肌肉和舌肌,这可能导致牙关紧闭、磨牙症、不自主的下颌开合以及不自主的舌运动。在此,我们报告一例68岁男性的口下颌肌张力障碍病例。
