Dystonia is a neurological syndrome characterized by sustained, involuntary muscle contractions, leading to repetitive twisting movements and/or postural changes. Dystonias lead to functional incapacity, have no curative treatment and, in most cases, pharmacological treatment is unsatisfactory. Understanding the pathophysiology of dystonias, both from a molecular and electrophysiological …
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease which is part of the parkinsonian syndromes spectrum, together with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common of them. In the initial phases, the differential diagnosis between PD and other parkinsonian syndromes (also called atypical parkinsonism) can be challenging, due to the similarity of the symptoms and t…
Dystonia is a syndrome characterized by involuntary and sustained muscle contractions, leading to twisting repetitive movements and/or abnormal postures. It may start at any age, the most aggressive forms begin in infancy, leaving the patient severely handicapped or leading to premature death. The adult-onset forms can be as disabling as the early-onset ones, bringing difficulties in walk…

Introduction: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative condition with no known cure. Mutations in the LRRK2 and PARK2 genes affect cellular processes and accelerate neurodegeneration, in addition to altering the morphology and density of neurites in dopaminergic neurons. Studies suggest that degeneration of dopaminergic terminals precedes the death of neurons in the …
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is a neurodegenerative disease which is part of the spectrum of parkinsonian syndromes, together with other conditions, such as idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common of these. All lead to progressive neurodegeneration and, ultimately, pathological protein aggregates of alpha-synuclein (synucleinopathies) or Tau (tauopathies) in the centr…
Dystonia is a movement disorder of neurological order, characterized by involuntary contractions that lead to abnormal movements and / or postures that can occur in an isolated part or in the whole body. Dystonia is a complex syndrome from the etiological and clinical point of view with a lack of efficient symptomatic treatment for the majority of the cases. Besides hindering the executio…
Dopa responsive dystonia (DRD) linked to the DYT5 locus is an autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by mutations in the GCH1 gene. It is characterized by onset during childhood, with gate disorder due to dystonia plus parkinsonian symptoms, with excellent response to levodopa. Not infrequently DRD is misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy, delaying the treatment, which can lead to importan…
