Dopa-responsive dystonia also known as "Segawa's syndrome" was first described in 1976. The dystonia typically shows diurnal variations and is more marked toward the end of the day and improves in sleep. This entity is often misdiagnosed in the clinical setting, mostly due to the lack of awareness, and these patients are exposed to various treatment regimens and nonpharmacological measures. We present a boy being treated as dystonic cerebral palsy who showed significant improvement in dystonic symptoms with L-dopa therapy.
多巴反应性肌张力障碍也被称为“泽川综合征”，于1976年首次被描述。这种肌张力障碍通常表现出日变化，在一天结束时更为明显，睡眠时改善。在临床环境中，这个病症常常被误诊，主要是由于认识不足，这些患者接受了各种治疗方案和非药物措施。我们报告一名被当作肌张力障碍型脑瘫治疗的男孩，他在接受左旋多巴治疗后肌张力障碍症状有显著改善。
