Synopsis
This type of dystonia typically starts after age 30. Symptoms can progress for about 5 years and then typically plateau. Occasionally, affected individuals develop other focal dystonia, but it rarely becomes generalized dystonia. Etiology is often unknown (idiopathic), but it can be secondary to genetic abnormalities or medications.
