[Paroxysmal dystonia as the first manifestation of multiple sclerosis].
We discuss the case of a patient with episodes of left unilateral paroxysmal dystonia as first manifestation of multiple sclerosis, secondary to a demyelinization lesion in posterior arm of right internal capsule, detected by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). These episodes diminished with carbamazepine at low doses.
