abstract = "Adult-onset idiopathic focal dystonias (AOIFD) are the most common type of dystonia. It has varied expression including multiple motor (depending on body part affected) and non-motor symptoms (psychiatric, cognitive and sensory). The motor symptoms are usually the main reason for presentation and are most often treated with botulinum toxin. However, non-motor symptoms are the main predictors of quality of life and should be addressed appropriately, as well as treating the motor disorder. Rather than considering AOIFD as a movement disorder, a syndromic approach should be taken, one that accommodates all the symptoms. Dysfunction of the collicular–pulvinar–amygdala axis, with the superior colliculus as a central node, can explain the diverse expression of this syndrome.",
