Abstract: 

Oromandibular Dystonia (OMD) is a rare neuromuscular disorder characterized by involuntary repetitive muscular contraction affecting different parts of the oromandibular region. It is an extremely debilitating disease and can have significant impact on the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of the patient but is often misdiagnosed due to lack of established diagnostic and management criteria. This review paper aims to highlight useful information regarding the clinical features, diagnosis and various therapeutic options for OMD. All the practitioners should be aware of the protean features of this disease so that it can be timely diagnosed and managed.
