Cervical Dystonia: Anterocollis [PDF]

, 2012
Anterocollis usually accompanies other forms of cervical dystonia such as rotational torticollis or laterocollis but may occur in isolation. Pure anterocollis sometimes occurs as a dystonic manifestation of multiple system atrophy.

Riluzole therapy in cervical dystonia

Movement Disorders, 2002
AbstractWe conducted a 6‐week open‐label pilot study with blinded video rating of riluzole (50 mg twice a day) in six patients with cervical dystonia (CD) refractory to botulinum toxin A and oral pharmacological treatment. The Tsui rating scale served as primary efficacy measure and improved significantly under riluzole (P = 0.002).

Delays to the diagnosis of cervical dystonia

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
The diagnosis of cervical dystonia (CD) is based on physical examination and is therefore reliant on clinician experience. Due to variability of presenting symptoms it may be misdiagnosed, thus delaying the provision of effective treatment. We sought to determine the average time taken to make a diagnosis of CD in our clinical cohort and explore ...

Subthalamic stimulation for cervical dystonia

Acta Neurochirurgica, 2020
The globus pallidus internus (GPi) has been the primary target for deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat severe medication-refractory dystonia. Some patients with primary cervical dystonia do not respond adequately to GPi stimulation. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS may provide an alternative choice for treating this dystonia.

Retrocollis often occurs as a partial component of cervical dystonia and much less commonly as an isolated manifestation. It may produce either a tonic sustained retrocollic posture or may cause recurrent clonic vertical head jerks. When part of a complex dystonia, it is more commonly associated with laterocollis than other postural abnormalities ...
