Abstract:
Posttraumatic movement disorders remain a controversial issue with focal dystonia being a prominent representative. Focal dystonia of the shoulder without concomittant cervical dystonia is a rare event. We describe 2 patients who, after minor trauma, developed focal dystonia of the shoulder with severe chronic pain. Response to local botulinum toxin A was favorable in 1 patient.
