Spasmodic torticollis
Spasmodic torticollis
Spasmodic torticollis refers to a condition characterized by involuntary contractions of the neck muscles, leading to involuntary twisting of the head and neck, resulting in abnormal head posture. For most patients, symptoms gradually worsen after onset, with the most significant progression occurring in the first 5 years, after which the condition tends to stabilize. Spasmodic torticollis can occur at any age, but it predominantly manifests in adulthood, rarely appearing in children. It is also more common in females than in males.
