title: Hairdresser's Dystonia: An Unusual Occupational Dystonia.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Adult-onset focal dystonias (AOFDs) are non-task-specific or task-specific and may spread to other body segments of affected patients.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report the case of a barber with non-task-specific craniocervical dystonia and a new occupational focal hand dystonia (while using scissors).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Different AOFDs may develop and coexist in the same "vulnerable" patient. Hairdresser's dystonia is a rare task-specific dystonia.
