Spasmodic torticollis

Spasmodic torticollis, clinically recognized as cervical dystonia, is a chronic focal neurological movement disorder affecting the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal structures of the cervical region It is characterized by sustained or intermittent involuntary contractions of agonist and antagonist neck muscles, leading to abnormal, repetitive twisting movements and sustained, awkward posturing of the head and neck Pathophysiologically linked to sensorimotor processing dysfunction wi...

Spasmodic torticollis, clinically recognized as cervical dystonia, is a chronic focal neurological movement disorder affecting the central nervous system and the musculoskeletal structures of the cervical region

It is characterized by sustained or intermittent involuntary contractions of agonist and antagonist neck muscles, leading to abnormal, repetitive twisting movements and sustained, awkward posturing of the head and neck Pathophysiologically linked to sensorimotor processing dysfunction within basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits, the condition commonly presents with painful muscle spasms, directional deviations such as rotational torticollis or lateral tilt, and associated head tremors

Pathophysiologically linked to sensorimotor processing dysfunction within basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits, the condition commonly presents with painful muscle spasms, directional deviations such as rotational torticollis or lateral tilt, and associated head tremors

Pathophysiologically linked to sensorimotor processing dysfunction within basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits, the condition commonly presents with painful muscle spasms, directional deviations such as rotational torticollis or lateral tilt, and associated head tremors

Most frequently manifesting in middle-aged adults, it significantly impairs cervical mobility and functional quality of life
