摘要
Dystonia has been described as a potential toxicity of radiation therapy. Management of this rare movement disorder is targeted in symptom improvement. We report a case of a 46year-old female patient who developed dystonia during treatment of melanoma metastatic to the brain and discuss potential causes of and therapies for this rare complication.
