Multifocal Dystonia

If a focal dystonia spreads to involve an additional area of the body, it usually affects an adjacent area (segmental dystonia). Less commonly, dystonic spasms may begin to affect a non-adjacent region or regions, resulting in signs of multifocal dystonia. In those with multifocal dystonia, the dystonia involves two or more non-adjacent areas of the body, such as both legs; one or both arms and a leg; or the face and a leg.
