Refractory Open Jaw Oromandibular Tardive Dystonia with a Sensory Trick, Treated with Botulinum Toxin: A Case Report.

Jaw-opening oromandibular dystonia (O-OMD) is a clinical subtype of OMD, commonly resistant to treatment. Here, we report a distinct case of tardive O-OMD with a characteristic sensory trick, successfully treated with high-dose botulinum toxin (BTX) injection. A 34-year-old male patient presented with involuntary jaw opening, tongue protrusion, dysarthria, and mild cervical dystonia.

Clinical Characteristics of Borderzone Infarction in Egyptian Population.

Objectives: In this research we wanted to highlight the importance of defining Borderzone infarctions (BZI) as a separate subtype in stroke classifications. We thus studied cases of isolated BZI, small vessel disease (SVD), and large vessel disease (LVD), to identify their points of similarities and difference in a sample of Egyptian patients.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional (observational) study.
