Abstract

"Trauma has infrequently been mentioned as a cause of movement disorders. The trauma to the central nervous system can cause tremors and dystonia is well established. Recently, some clinicians raised the possibility that injury to the peripheral nervous system can also produce these and other movement disorders. We describe two patients in whom involuntary movement developed transiently after trauma of the peripheral nervous system. We reviewed the reported examples in which trauma was associated with dyskinesias and discussed the possible etiologic role of trauma.Key Words : Trauma, Peripheral nerve, Dyskinesia"
