Lovely pictorial summary: Decoding Dystonia in Autoimmune disorders: Scoping review @tremorjournal @docravi20 @ debayan datta

Did you know that neck snapping tics can lead to severe injury of the spinal cord and in some cases even quadraparesis? Spoiler alert: Think DBS. We must recognize the dangers of severe cervical tics in Tourette syndrome because sometimes, they’re faster and more forceful than a…

"Hyperkinetic" - "Hypokinetic". This misses the complexity of conditions like #ataxia, which show mixed features. Authors propose adding a third “mixed” category to better capture these nuances @tremorjournal tremorjournal.org/articles/10.53….

We are THRILLED to report that ToHM has seen a doubling in submissions over the last 2 years! 📈 Thank you to all the #neurologists, #movementdisorders specialists, and trainee authors who contributed high quality reviews, viewpoints, case reports, video abstracts, and more! 💯

Hypokinetic, hyperkinetic, or MIXED? When considering both the electrophysiology and the phenotype @SSNeuroMD and Elan Louis explain how some movement disorders may be both! 🤯 Check out this interesting viewpoint article. tremorjournal.org/articles/10.53…

Explanting a DBS lead on someone was otherwise doing G R E A T? Don't let an infection get in your patient's way! Take a look at this case we just published in @tremorjournal of a patient who had an STN lead that we explanted. #NeuroTwitter tremorjournal.org/articles/993/f…

When you see myoclonus in the inpatient setting, what are the potential etiologies, treatment response, and mortality? Check out this paper by this @WCMCNeurology group! #Myoclonus #MovementDisorders #MedEd #NeuroX #MedX 🔗tremorjournal.org/articles/10.53…

Are we missing cases of ocular telangiectasia and ataxia (walking and coordination) syndrome? YEP. Should these folks avoid X-rays? YEP. Do you know what features these cases may present with at ~age 40. Lukas Gattermeyer-Kell and colleagues show us two key images and teach us…

Check out this case of ATP1A3-Associated Paroxysmal Dystonia by LeDoux @tremorjournal. Triggers can include chocolate. There was dysarthria, appendicular and gait ataxia, chorea, dystonia, and genu valgum. Did you know that paroxysmal episodes can be triggered by emotional…

Have you ever seen a case of 'moving ear syndrome'? Can you make this movement? 1 in 5 people can do this voluntarily. Yahya and colleagues present a case in @tremorjournal. This man had brief backwards contractions of his right ear that were involuntary, partially suppressible,…

A 49YO man presented with pain in his R foot followed by gradually progressive great toe and foot posturing. His focal #dystonia was the heralding symptom of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis.🤯 Learn more about NCL: tremorjournal.org/articles/10.53…… #MovementDisorders #MedEd #NeuroX

You've heard of neurogenic tremor but myogenic tremor? 🤔 Check out this case of MYH2-associated myopathy that highlights the importance of performing a full neurological exam, even in young patients with mild distal symmetric tremor. #MedEd #NeuroX tremorjournal.org/articles/10.53…
