Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions, causing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures of affected body parts. Here, we present a novel case of focal dystonia of a 51 years old right-handed woman who had developed difficulty in writing and performing fine motor tasks. Due to a discomfort in her right hand at use, she started using her left hand instead and noticed inconsistent mirror movements in her right hand upon use of left hand. She was treated with trihexyphenidyl which allowed her right hand to function better, though writing still remained a problem.
肌张力障碍是一种运动障碍,其特征为肌肉持续收缩,导致受影响身体部位出现扭曲、重复运动或异常姿势。在此,我们报告一例51岁右利手女性的局灶性肌张力障碍新病例,该患者在书写和执行精细运动任务时出现困难。由于右手使用时不适,她开始改用左手,并注意到使用左手时右手出现不一致的镜像运动。她接受了苯海索治疗,这使她的右手功能有所改善,尽管书写仍然存在问题。
