Focal dystonias are the most common form. These include spasmodic torticollis (neck), blepharospasm (eyelids), writer's cram (hand), oromandibular (mouth), meige syndrome (eyes and mouth) and spasmodic dysphonia (vocal cords).

When people with benign essential blepharospasm also experience involuntary muscle spasms affecting the tongue and jaw (oromandibular dystonia), the combination of signs and symptoms is known as Meige syndrome.

Focal dystonias involve only one body location, including spasmodic torticollis (in the neck), blepharospasm (in the eyelids), Meige syndrome (in the lower face), or writer's cramp or limb dystonia (in the hands).
