There is limited data on cognition in childhood dystonia. Primary dystonia showed intact cognition and IQ, but mild working memory and processing speed deficits. Secondary dystonia showed more pronounced deficits and lower IQ, with frequent intellectual disability. There is a strong need for case-control studies assessing cognition using standardized neuropsychological tests.
