Abstract
The putamen and the globus pallidus are attended as the responsible nuclei for dystonia, however, their topographical correlation to the characteristic clinical features observed in certain types of dystonia remains unclarified. Some types of dystonia respond well to L-Dopa and others to anticholinergics and also there are groups of dystonia which do not respond to either drug (Lang, 1985), but there is no rationale for the differences in the basic pathophysiology.
