Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Movement Disorders

Background:

  • Dystonia is a hyperkinetic movement disorder linked to genetic, infectious, drug-induced, and autoimmune conditions.
  • Autoimmune disorders can manifest as isolated or combined acute/subacute dystonia.
  • The presentation and management of autoimmune dystonia are not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review clinical literature on dystonia in autoimmune disorders.
  • To define patterns and propose an approach for diagnosing and managing autoimmune dystonia.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review of 103 articles was conducted.
  • Included studies were primarily case reports and case series.
  • Data on epidemiological, clinical, and diagnostic features were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Dystonia can be isolated or combined in various autoimmune diseases.
  • Dystonia associated with autoimmune conditions often responds to immunotherapy.
  • Specific neurological patterns and investigations can suggest an autoimmune etiology.

Conclusions:

  • The clinical presentation of dystonia can be a key indicator of underlying autoimmune disease.
  • Subacute onset focal or segmental dystonia warrants investigation for autoimmune causes.
  • Early immunotherapy and symptomatic treatments like botulinum toxin are beneficial.
