Oromandibular dystonia and persistent psychiatric symptoms in extra-pontine myelinolysis. Journal of the Association of Physicians of India. 2008 Apr; 56(): 259-61http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/94426A 32 years female presented with gradually progressive dysarthria, dysphagia, oromandibular dystonia and mild generalized weakness. She had several episodes of acute psychotic behavior. She had abnormal saccadic eye movements, generalized hypertonia and exaggerated jerks in upper limbs. She was previously treated in a peripheral hospital for severe vomiting and diarrhea. MRI of brain revealed symmetrical T-2 weighted hyperintensities in bilateral putaminal and caudate region along with pons and midbrain suggesting demyelination due to a metabolic insult. Her power improved gradually over days and the dysarthria, dysphagia and oromandibular dystonia improved gradually over several weeks with supportive measures but the psychiatric manifestations are still persisting.engAdultBrain Diseases --complicationsBromhexineDemyelinating Diseases --complicationsDystonic Disorders --etiologyFemaleHumansHyponatremia --complicationsMagnetic Resonance ImagingMeige Syndrome --etiologyPsychotic Disorders --etiologyCase Reports
