| Full Abstract: |
Task Specific Dystonia (TSD) is a subset of action dystonia that occurs exclusively or primarily when the patient is performing a specific task. This particular condition, which may be debilitating, has been described for more than a century. TSD is often reported in musicians and generally affects the hands when playing string, percussion, or wind instruments. There have been case reports of this phenomenon affecting the mouths of players and we describe a case we believe may fall into this category. |
