“…It has been postulated that these abnormal movements are due to a dysfunction of inhibitory spinal interneurons or structural reorganization of local neuronal circuits [1, 3]. In addition, it has been noted that these abnormal abdominal movements arose after surgery [1, 3, 5–7], child birth [1], trauma [1], dopaminergic and antidopaminergic treatment [8, 9], central pontine and extra-pontine myelinolysis [10], or as a result of spinal myoclonus [11, 12] and spinal tumors [13]. In accordance with this observation, two patients in our cohort developed the condition after abdominal surgery, one of whom was also taking psychotropic medications.…”

“…Various medical and surgical treatment modalities have been tried including benzodiazepines [3, 6, 12], trihexyphenidyl [1, 3], valproate [1], carbamazepine [11], transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation [9], and deep brain stimulation [4, 14]. However, due to the scarcity of reports, no treatment modality has been proven to be superior and effective in the management of this condition.…”

BackgroundBelly dancer’s dyskinesia is an extremely rare condition. It manifests as semicontinuous, slow, writhing, sinuous abdominal wall movements that are bothersome to the patient. Management of this condition is extremely difficult and challenging.MethodsWe describe four patients with belly dancer’s dyskinesia who were treated with Botulinum Toxin A (BTX) injections under ultrasound guidance.ResultsAll patients underwent the same BTX injection procedure using an aseptic technique under ultrasound guidance. The patients responded well to the BTX injections after an unsatisfactory course of medical treatment. The patients reported complete abolishment of abnormal abdominal movements with no side effects.ConclusionsWe report a cohort of patients with belly dancer dyskinesia treated successfully with BTX injections. Ultrasound guidance for injections increases the accuracy and reduces the risk of the complications. BTX injection under ultrasound guidance is a safe and effective treatment modality that should be employed as a first-line in the management of patients with belly dancer’s dyskinesia.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12883-016-0746-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…The syndrome may be idiopathic or occur after a spinal lesion [63], local trauma or abdominal pain [65,67,68], vitamin B12 deficiency, L-dopa treatment [66], antidopaminergic drugs [69] or pontine myelinolysis [64]. In any case, its overlap with spinal myoclonus [65,70,71] and with functional movement disorders remains unclear and current data are insufficient to categorize this disorder as a discrete clinical entity.…”

“…Dyskinesia, a movement disorder causing involuntary muscle movements, has been reported to affect the abdominal muscles (Linazasoro et al, 2005). The application of Botulinum toxin A for nerve blocking has been used to treat dyskinesia (Hallett et al, 2013).…”

Detection of the motor points of the abdominal muscles

Purpose: Abdominal Functional Electrical Stimulation (AFES) is a technique intended to improve respiratory functionin tetraplegia where breathing is affected due to abdominal muscle paralysis. Although it is known that optimal muscle contraction is achieved when electrical stimulation is applied close to the muscle motor point, AFES studies have used a variety of electrode positions. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation to detect the motor points of the abdominal muscles, and to evaluate the intrasubject repeatability and intersubject uniformity of their positions, to find the most suitable AFES electrode location.Methods: Low frequency stimulation (0.5 Hz) was applied to the abdominal muscles of 10 able bodied and 5 tetraplegic participants. The electrode positions which achieved the strongest muscle contractions were recorded as the motor point positions, with measurements repeated once. For 5 able bodied participants assessments were repeated after 18 months, in seated and supine positions.Results: Intersubject uniformity ranged from 2.8% to 8.8%. Motor point positions were identified with intrasubject repeatability of <1.7 cm, deemed adequate relative to standard AFES electrode size. Intrasubject repeatability shows motor point positions changed little (<1.7 cm) after 18 months but varied between seated and supine positions with repeatability of up to 3.1 cm. Conclusions:A simple technique to locate the motor points of the abdominal muscles is presented and shown to have an adequate intrasubject repeatability, enabling the optimum AFES electrode location to be identified for each user.

Etiological and therapeutical observations in a case of belly dancer's dyskinesia

Abstract: We report on the case of a woman with belly dancer's syndrome. This case presented two peculiarities: (1) the condition was induced by the chronic use of clebopride, and (2) abdominal dyskinesias showed a dramatic response to the application of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.
