Idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia - what does this mean
Idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia is a neurological disorder caused by an abnormality in the control of movement and posture, which results in involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal posturing. it is a chronic, progressive disorder with no known cause, and it affects both children and adults.
What happens during the disease - idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia
Idiopathic nonfamilial dystonia is a neurological disorder characterized by sustained muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures and movements. it is believed that the disorder is caused by a dysfunction in the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei in the brain responsible for controlling movement. this dysfunction is thought to be due to an imbalance of neurotransmitters, specifically dopamine, which is responsible for regulating the activity of the basal ganglia. additionally, genetic factors may play a role, as certain genetic mutations have been associated with the development of the disorder.
