[Symptomatic paroxysmal dystonia (non-kinesigenic forms): two new cases].

We report two new cases of symptomatic paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dystonia. The first is a 68-year-old woman with paroxysmal spontaneous dystonic spasms in her right arm lasting 1 minute. They occurred 1-2/day, a few months after a cerebral infarction (left internal capsule and left lenticular nucleus) which occurred 6 years ago. The second is a 30-year-old woman with a 7-year-history of spontaneous dystonic postures (flexion spasms) in her left arm lasting 15 minutes and occurring monthly. In this case an Arnold-Chiari malformation with cervical syringomyelia was discovered.

[Idiopathic cervical plexopathy].

We describe a 26 year-old woman with cervical plexopathy with damage of left superficial or cutaneous branches, and left cervical sensory dorsal rami. Picture began acutely and vanished few days later. We ruled out known etiologies like traumatisms, tumours and surgical and anaesthetic complicated procedures, therefore the patient suffered an idiopathic cervical plexopathy. We hypothesize two possibilities for this clinical picture: an autoimmune reaction or a muscular entrapment.
