Dystonia is a repetitive and involuntary movement and posture disorder caused by sustained or repetitive muscle contractions. Dystonias areclassified based on the age of onset, anatomic distribution, and etiology. In dystonia, treatment is based on the underlying etiology. In ourstudy, we review the demographic characteristics, classification and treatment approach of the children with dystonia. This study includedthe patients aged below 18 years old who were admitted to our clinic between 2010 and 2016. Of these patients, those with a preliminarydiagnosis of word dystonia (e.g. unidentified dystonia, drug-related dystonia, orofacial dystonia) were selected and their data were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 29 patients with dystonia were included. The mean age was 10 years (range: 1 to 17 years). Of the patients, 13were females and 16 were males. The most common form of dystonia was secondary dystonia and drug-related dystonia. The most commonform of dystonia based on the anatomic distribution pattern was focal dystonia. While L-Dopa was the preferred initial treatment for primarydystonias, treatment was chosen based on the etiology in secondary dystonia. It is significantly important to accurately recognize and classify dystonia in children. Secondary dystonia is more common than primary dystonia in children. A thorough anamnesis including the medicalhistory of the patient should be obtained, and additional presence of tremor, chorea, and spasticity should be evaluated in the neurologicalexamination to identify secondary dystonias. In primary dystonias, L-Dopa treatment should be the first choice due to the possibility ofSegawa Syndrome (Dopa-responsive dystonia).
