Abstract

We describe a 30-year-old woman who suffered from an unusual task-specific focal hand dystonia, which dominantly occurred with use of a spoon; there were no other activities affected, except for mild writer's dystonia on same side. This is the first report of a spoon-related focal dystonia.
