Dystonia associated with chromosomal abnormalities is typically attributed to chromosomal deletions. We describe a patient with ring chromosome 21, with karyotype 46XX,r(21)(p11.2q22.3); 46,XX,dic r(21)(p11.2q22.3); 45, XX, –21, who developed childhood onset cervical dystonia. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
