Abnormal involuntary movements commonly affect the jaw. Oromandibular dystonia is a focal dystonia that produces a variety of abnormal movements involving the mouth, jaw and tongue: jaw opening, jaw closing, lateral movements, bruxism, facial grimacing, tongue movements and combinations of these (Video). It often occurs as part of a segmental or generalized dystonia. In a study of 240 patients, 62% had the jaw-opening type, 20% the jaw-closing type and 18% had a mixed form.(1)

The movements often interfere with chewing, speaking and swallowing. The patient in the video found that holding a straw between his teeth worked as a sensory trick and helped control the involuntary movements.

The condition is usually idiopathic, but it may be due to neuroleptic exposure, CNS trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, CNS anoxia, metabolic disorders and rarely peripheral trauma.(2,3) Meige's syndrome is oromandibular dystonia and blepharospasm. Auctioneer's jaw is a task-specific oromandibular dystonia.(4)
