En anglais : dystonia. Terme issu du grec dus : difficulté, et tonos : ressort. Synonyme : dystonie vagosympatique, dystonie neurovégétative. Trouble de la tension, de la tonicité. Ce désordre musculaire à type de spasme est à l'origine de contractions involontaires et douloureuses qui figent une partie ou l'ensemble du corps dans une attitude anormale. Les contractions musculaires apparaissent de façon involontaire et durent plus longtemps qu'à l'habitude, figeant la zone musculaire concernée dans une position dystonique. Quand la dystonie apparaît à l'occasion d'un mouvement bien précis, on parle de dystonie de fonction. La dysautonomie correspond à un trouble du passage de l'excitation nerveuse au niveau du nerf vague (appelé également nerf pneumogastrique). Ce nerf permet la transmission des sensations et des ordres aboutissant aux muscles à l'origine des mouvements du pharynx, de l'estomac, du larynx, du cur, du foie et des intestins. Ceci aboutit à l'amphotonie, qui est un excès de tonicité portant sur les deux systèmes : le nerf sympathique et nerf vague. L'hypoamphotonie correspond à une hypotonie (diminution du tonus normal) de ces deux systèmes. La sympathicotonie correspond à une tonicité accrue au niveau des organes innervés par le système sympathique. La vagotonie correspond à un excès de tonicité des organes innervés par le nerf vague ou pneumogastrique.

Extractions: Description Familial dysautonomia [ FD ] is one example of a group of disorders known as hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies [HSAN]. All HSAN are characterized by widespread sensory dysfunction and variable autonomic dysfunction caused by incomplete development of sensory and autonomic neurons. The disorders are believed to be genetically distinct from each other. Unlike the other HSAN, FD has been noted only in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish extraction and so it is included as one of the Jewish genetic diseases. Individuals affected with FD are incapable of producing overflow tears with emotional crying. Frequent manifestations of FD include inappropriate perception of heat, pain, and taste, as well as, labile blood pressures and gastrointestinal dysmotility. Other problems experienced by individuals with FD include excessive sweating, dysphagia and vomiting, aspiration and frequent pneumonia, speech and motor incoordination, labile blood pressures (episodic hypertension and postural hypotension), poor growth and scoliosis. Yet affected individuals usually are of normal intelligence. FD patients can be expected to function independently if treatment is begun early and major disabilities avoided.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Riley day syndrome, (Conrad Milton Riley, 20th century, American physician and Richard Lawrence Day, 20th century, American paediatrician), type III hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy; also known as familial dysautonomia. This disease occurs primarily in Jewish children, who manifest neuropathic osteoarthropathy , abnormalities of spinal curvature, osteomyelitis , and ischaemic necrosis of bone, in addition to clinical signs and symptoms. In some patients, large portions of the articular surface of the femoral head, femoral condyles and tarsus may disintegrate, with resulting subluxations.

Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Riley day syndrome, (Conrad Milton Riley, 20th century, American physician; Richard Lawrence Day, 20th century, American paediatrician), dysautonomia associated with emotional lability and motor incoordination. The inheritance is autosomal recessive. Radiologically, children often have incoordination of swallowing with frequent tracheal aspiration of food. There may in addition be a megacolon, non-specific small bowel dysmotility disorders and extensive areas of pulmonary consolidation secondary to the repeated aspiration.

Infants with hypotonia seem floppy and feel like a "rag doll" does when held. Considerations Return to top Hypotonia is often a sign of a worrisome abnormality and may suggest the presence of central nervous system dysfunction, genetic disorders, or muscle disorders. Hypotonic infants rest with their elbows and knees loosely extended, while infants with normal tone tend to have flexed elbows and knees. Head control may be poor or absent in the floppy infant with the head falling to the side, backward, or forward. Infants with normal tone can be lifted with the parent's hands placed under the armpits, while hypotonic infants tend to slip between the hands as the infant's arms rise unresistingly upward. Common Causes Return to top Home Care Return to top Extra care must be taken when lifting and carrying a hypotonic infant to avoid causing an injury to the child.

Extractions: Dysautonomia Foundation Inc - History, Programs and Accomplishments The Dysautonomia Foundation was started in 1951 by a handful of parents whose infants had presented Drs. Conrad M. Riley and R. L. Day with some of their most puzzling cases. The result in 1949 was the identification and description of the Riley-Day Syndrome - now known as Familial Dysautonomia (FD). A concentrated effort was undertaken to awaken both public interest and that of the medical and scientific community to this strange and baffling disorder that appeared to afflict Jewish children of Eastern European background, and fund raising activities were initiated to promote research into its mysteries. As a result of research sponsored over the years by the Foundation at leading institutions, many important discoveries have been made. These include the initial breakthrough by Drs. Joseph Dancis and the late Alfred A. Smith in diagnosing dysautonomic children by their lack of taste buds; and the discovery of a histamine skin test to determine at birth if a child is afflicted with the disease. 1970 marked the start of a Pediatric Clinic at NYU's University Hospital as a treatment and evaluation center for dysautonomia patients from all over the world. In 1990, the Dysautonomia Foundation established a laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital (Harvard), for the express purpose of identifying the gene for FD. Through the efforts of Dr. James Gusella, Director of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics, and a superb team of researchers led by Susan A. Slaugenhaupt, Ph.D., exciting strides have been made. The approximate location of the gene (between flanking markers) was identified and narrowed so that "families at risk" could have a prenatal test to see whether the fetus was affected with FD or not. To date there have been 75 healthy babies born all unaffected with FD as predicted. AND NOW, FINALLY, WITH THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE FD GENE, THERE IS A CARRIER TEST FOR THE ENTIRE JEWISH POPULATION!
