WCN 2021 | Defining the etiology of dystonia

Kailash Bhatia, MD, DM, FRCP, UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, UK, explains how to narrow down the etiology of dystonia by defining a syndrome. By identifying whether dystonia is isolated or combined with additional features such as parkinsonism or cerebellar ataxia, it is possible to narrow down the set of causes of dystonia in a patient. This interview took place during the XXV World Congress of Neurology.
