 | | Horstink, C.A., Praamstra, P., Horstink, M.W.I.M., Berger, H.J.C., Booij, J., and Van Royen, E.A. Low striatal D2 receptor binding as assessed by [123I] IBZM SPECT in patients with writer's cramp. |
 | | In view of the possible involvement of dopaminergic striatal receptors in dystonia, we measured the availability of striatal D2 receptors in patients with writer's cramp using [123I] IBZM SPECT. |
 | | Our results suggest that the striatal dopaminergic system is involved in writer's cramp given that patients with writer's cramp have a significantly lower level of striatal [123I IBZM binding than controls. |
