Clinical trial support: Ceregene Inc., MRI Interventions Inc., St. Jude Medical Inc.; Boston Scientific Inc. Jill L. Ostrem, MD Professor of Neurology UCSF Department of Neurology 1 2 Case: Fall year old previously healthy boy was stuck in the back at school. Developed severe back pain and seen at ER and released with no significant concerns. One week later he began limping and was stooped over due to worsening pain. Symptoms worsened where he could not walk more than a few blocks. He had scissoring of his legs and fatigue. Feb routine blood work normal, leg EMG was normal. Spring 2009 he required a wheelchair. At the age of 9, he began having trouble writing with his right hand. He reported his hand would tense-up. At the age of 9 ½ his left arm developed involuntary movements requiring him to place his arm behind his head to control the movements. Case (cont) No pain when lying down, but when sitting up, he had pain in the upper back and legs when he moved. He had lost weight. The muscles in his legs were notably smaller and his arms were are about the same size. Shoulders and trunk were also smaller. There was concern for neck extensor muscle weakness. He had no sensory deficits or paresthesias. He had no problems with speech, swallowing, or facial expression. He continued to have good grades in school, and his mother denied any concerns from his teachers about his behavior. Prior notes mentioned previous depression and one prior suicide attempt

2 Case 1 (cont): Additional History: The patient was the product of a normal pregnancy and was born 2 weeks early a hospital in Guadalajara without any complications via normal vaginal delivery. He did not require oxygen or have a prolonged hospitalization. He had have jaundice, but was still able to go home and treated by taking him outside every afternoon. He was healthy as an infant and started saying a few words at 8 months and started walking at 11 months. Family history was negative for any neurological conditions.

3 Dystonia Defined as a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions causing abnormal, often repetitive movements, postures, or both. Dystonic movements are typically patterned, twisting, and may be tremulous. Often initiated or worsened by voluntary action and associated with overflow muscle activation. Dystonia Consensus Update (Jinnah, Delong, Hallett. Movement Disorders ) Dystonia Classification New Axis I- Clinical features Age of onset (from infancy to late adult onset) Body distribution (focal forms, segmental, generalized) Temporal pattern (static or progressive disease course ) Isolated or combined with another movement disorder (parkinsonism, myoclonus, or other neurological manifestations) Isolated dystonia Onset in children = progress to generalized Onset adulthood = remain focal or segmental Axis 2- Etiology Inherited (DYT, others) Acquired (brain injury, tardive syndromes) Question 2: Which the following are usually NOT clinical features of a patient with dystonia? A. Stereotyped and patterned postures B. Sustained muscle contractions C. Tremor and myoclonus D. Muscle rigidity E. Geste antagoniste Stereotyped and patter... 10% Sustained muscle contrac... 16% Tremor and myoclonus 23% Muscle rigidity 29% 21% Geste antagoniste Clinical Features of Dystonia Stereotyped abnormal movements and postures Repeatedly involves the same muscle groups Sustained postures (as opposed to chorea) Tremor and jerks are often present Rigidity/hypertonia are usually absent Often activated by voluntary movements May even be task-specific Sensory tricks (geste antagoniste) 3

4 Difficulties in Dystonia Diagnosis Physicians are unfamiliar with dystonia (relatively rare) Bizarre and variable clinical features Often called psychogenic Many causes Few useful diagnostic tests Generalized dystonia (childhood) Diagnosis is often missed early It is often misdiagnosed a CP, neurodegenerative, or scoliosis Adult-onset focal dystonia is often misdiagnosed Question 3: Which of the following is NOT a useful test for identifying the etiology of a patient s generalized dystonia? A. Response to a trial of L-dopa treatment B. DYT1 or DYT6 testing C. Electromyography D. Serum ceruloplasmin E. MRI of the brain Response to a trial of L-... 5% 3% DYT1 or DYT6 testing Electromyography 67% Serum ceruloplasmin 7% 18% MRI of the brain Dopa Responsive Dystonia (DYT 5) Childhood onset; females >males Diurnal fluctuations L-dopa responsive at low doses Variable expression Gait disorder in children ( CP, myopathy ) Developmental delay/spasticity Kyphoscoliosis Focal or multifocal dystonia in adults Parkinsonism in adults Primary Torsion Dystonia (DYT1) (Early onset, generalized, persistent, isolated, inherited, and dominant) Old terminology dystonia musculorum deformans GAG/glutamate deletion in gene for Torsin A Autosomal dominant gene with 30% penetrance Age of onset < 26 years; usually limb onset Generalizes but often spares cranial muscles May cause focal limb involvement in adults Jewish (90% DYT1); non-jewish (45% DYT1) 4

Deep brain stimulation E. Clonazepam 53% 19% 16% 7% 4% Cervical Dystonia Limb Dystonia- Writer s Cramp Botulinum toxin injections Oral baclofen Trihexiphenidyl Deep brain stimulation Clonazepam Case (cont) The patient was given a trial Levodopa to r/o DRD. He had only a mild benefit. Trihexiphenidyl resulted in more improvement. Later baclofen was added but caused sedation at higher doses. DBS therapy was recommended as he still had significant dystonia and disability. The patient had GPi DBS surgery in 2009 using a newer interventional MRI method for placing brain leads (allowing the patient to be asleep). Deep Brain Stimulation for Dystonia 2003 HDE approved for dystonia Indicated for unilateral or bilateral stimulation of the GPi or the STN to aid in the management of chronic, intractable (drug refractory) primary dystonia in patients seven years of age and above, including: Generalized dystonia Segmental dystonia Hemidystonia Cervical dystonia (torticollis) Estimated about 3,000 dystonia patients implanted since 2003 (80% are adults) 23 6
