AB The  concept  of  symptomatic  or  secondary  dystonia,  as  opposed  to  primary  or  idiopathic  dystonia,  emerged  in  the  medical  literature  as  a  class  of  dystonias  of  known  etiology.  Perinatal  brain  injury  was  the  most  representative  cause  of  symptomatic  dystonia.  More  recently,  different  focal  brain  lesions,  neurodegenerations,  metabolic  disorders  of  the  nervous  system,  and  drugs  and  chemicals  have  been  recognized  as  causes  of  dystonia.
