A child developed acute hemiparesis due to infarction of basal ganglia and internal capsule. Pleocytosis of cerebrospinal fluid and elevated immunoglobulin M antibodies suggest that California encephalitis virus infection caused the stroke.
Dystonia is characterized by slow, repetitive, involuntary, often twisting movements leading to sustained abnormal postures and can be focal or generalised. In most cases, etiology remains unrevealed, some cases are hereditary, others have metabolic origin or can be attributed to focal brain lesions. The most common types of dystonia, spasmodic torticollis and blepharospasm, can now be treated successfully, albeit symptomatically, with Botulinum toxin injections into the affected muscles. A practical guide to differential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies is presented.
