ABSTRACT
Two patients with acquired dystonia were studied by computed imaging techniques and found to have lesions predominantly involving the putamen. The implications of these findings are discussed, and it is concluded that, for the genesis of dystonia, a relative increase of other inputs to the pallidum may be important, such as those from the caudate and subthalamic nuclei.
