Abstract:
Focal dystonia of the right hand and speech impairment as a result of a circumscribed left-sided anterior thalamic lesion is reported in a 9-year-old girl with borderline normal psychomotor development. Both focal dystonia and speech impairment improved during anticholinergic treatment and worsened after drug withdrawal.
