When and who made the first report on oromandibular dystonia?
I think the following literature is the first, but does anyone know any other literature?
Romberg M.H. Krampf im Muskelgebiete der Pars minor Quinti. Masticatorischer Gesichtskrampf. Trismus. In: Lehrbuch der Nervenkaranheiten des Menschen, Alexander Duncker, Berlin, 308-316. 1846.
David Marsden (1938–1998), writing about blepharospasm‐oromandibular dystonia in 1976, suggested it be called Brueghel's syndrome.
He cited De Gaper by Pieter Brueghel the Elder (c.1525–1569), which appears to depict involuntary jaw opening and eye closure.
Marsden assumed Brueghel had observed this syndrome.
Dear Dr. Vaibhav Mathur,
Thank you very much for your answer and sending a PDF file.
To tell the truth, I had read the paper by Newby et al.

Your most welcome Kazuya Yoshida !!
I'm a researcher from india, kindly guide me for higher studies in movement disorders please
Dear Dr. Vaibhav Mathur,
thank you very much for your reply.
I am an oral surgeon, not a neurologist. Fortunately, I was able to study and practice with some of the best neurologists who are specialists in movement disorders. If you are interested in movement disorders and want to specialize, I think you should work under a specialist.
