    General Discussion Spasmodic Torticollis, also known as cervical dystonia, is a form of dystonia characterized by intermittent spasms of the neck muscles resulting in involuntary rotation and tilting of the head. These movements are frequently painful. There are three different varieties of the disorder: tonic, causing sustained turning of the head to one side; clonic, causing shaking movements of the head; and mixed tonic and clonic, involving both kinds of movements. The exact cause of this disorder is usually unknown, and it tends to appear in adults. Resources WE MOVE (Worldwide Education and Awareness for Movement Disorders)

    Ask the Doctor
    Q: Torticollis... What is torticollis? Paula Dr Rob Hicks responds When muscle spasm in the neck causes the head to twist and be pulled over to one side it's called torticollis. You may have heard this condition also called "wry neck". In adults torticollis is most often caused by sleeping in an awkward position or by an injury to the muscles of the neck. When this happens the side of the neck feels very painful and is stiff since the muscles are in spasm. It usually recovers within a few days. During this time painkillers, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasm medication can be taken to relieve the symptoms. Applying heat to the area also helps, as does gentle massage. Arnica is a natural anti-inflammatory treatment that works well when applied as a cream to the painful area of the neck. Sometimes wearing a neck collar can ease the discomfort. Torticollis can also develop in young babies and children and is thought to result from damage to the neck muscle during birth. It's usually between six months and three years of age that the head is first noticed to be tilted to one side. Development of the face on the affected side may also be delayed giving the face an asymmetric appearance.

    Torticollis (Loxia, "Wryneck")
    Signs, symptoms and indicators
    Conditions that suggest it Torticollis (cervical dystonia or spasmodic torticollis) is a type of movement disorder in which the muscles controlling the neck cause sustained twisting or frequent jerking. A deformity of the neck is caused by a shortening of the neck muscles; this condition causes the head to tilt to the affected side with the chin pointing to the other side. With this condition, certain muscles controlling the neck undergo repetitive or sustained contraction, causing the neck to jerk or twist to the side. Cervical dystonia causes forward twisting, and is called antecollis. Backward twisting is known as retrocollis. The abnormal posture caused by torticollis is often debilitating, and is usually painful.
    There are three types of torticollis:
    • Tonic, in which the abnormal posture is sustained Clonic , marked by jerky head movements Mixed, a combination of tonic and clonic movements.
    Torticollis most commonly begins between age 30-60, with females affected twice as often as males. According to the National Spasmodic Torticollis Association, torticollis affects 83,000 people in the United States. Dystonia tends to become more severe during the first months or years after onset, and may spread to other regions, especially the jaw, arm, or leg. Torticollis should not be confused with such other causes of abnormal neck posture as orthopedic or congenital problems.

    She may have acquired torticollis, a rare condition that causes a child's head and neck to tilt to one side. Acquired torticollis can be caused by a swollen throat due to an upper respiratory infection, a sore throat, or even a sports-related accident. The swelling loosens the tissue surrounding the upper spine, which causes the bones to move out of their normal position. This causes the neck muscles to go into spasm and the head to tilt to one side. The condition can also be caused by swollen lymph nodes, pneumonia, or a vision problem. In very rare cases, a brain or spinal cord tumor is to blame. How is torticollis treated?
    Treatment depends largely on the underlying cause of the problem. It may include applying heat to the neck muscles or wearing a neck collar for several months, and taking muscle relaxants or painkillers to relieve any discomfort. In rare cases, torticollis will need to be corrected surgically.

    Torticollis (Wry Neck) Torticollis may occur without known cause (idiopathic), be genetic (inherited), or be acquired secondary to damage to the nervous system or muscles. It may develop in childhood or adulthood. Congenital torticollis (present at birth) may be caused by malpositioning of the head in the uterus, or by prenatal injury of the muscles or blood supply in the neck.

    WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
    Torticollis (TOR-tih-COLL-is) is a spasm or shortening of the muscles on one side of the neck. A few people are born with the problem, but this is rare. Most often it develops between the ages of 30 and 60 years. It tends to run in families; and women are more likely to get it than men. Healing time may take as long as 5 years, depending on how bad the condition is and what caused it. The problem is also referred to as ""wryneck.''
    Causes
    Torticollis may suddenly develop without any accident or injury. You may never know what triggered the pain: It may simply be there when you wake up one morning. Torticollis occasionally results from sleeping on a new bed or new pillow, or on the sofa. The pain sometimes develops gradually over many days.
    Signs/Symptoms
    The tight muscles on one side of the neck produce neck pain and cause the head to bend and turn to one side. You may find that it hurts to turn your head.

    Description
    In torticollis, certain muscles controlling the neck undergo repetitive or sustained contraction, causing the neck to jerk or twist to the side. Cervical dystonia causes forward twisting, and is called antecollis. Backward twisting is known as retrocollis. The abnormal posture caused by torticollis is often debilitating, and is usually painful. Torticollis most commonly begins between age 30-60, with females affected twice as often as males.

Torticollis should not be confused with such other causes of abnormal neck posture as orthopedic or congenital problems.
    Causes and symptoms
    The nerve signals responsible for torticollis are thought to originate in the basal ganglia, a group of brain structures involved in movement control. The exact defect is unknown. Some cases of dystonia are due to the inheritance of a defective gene, whose function was unknown as of mid-1998. Other cases are correlated with neck or head trauma, such as from an automobile accident. Use of certain

If the torticollis fails to settle after one week, however, or if there is a history of significant trauma then an underlying cause, such as Atlanto axial rotatory fixation should be sought.

    General Discussion
    Spasmodic Torticollis, also known as cervical dystonia, is a form of dystonia characterized by intermittent spasms of the neck muscles resulting in involuntary rotation and tilting of the head. These movements are frequently painful. There are three different varieties of the disorder: tonic, causing sustained turning of the head to one side; clonic, causing shaking movements of the head; and mixed tonic and clonic, involving both kinds of movements. The exact cause of this disorder is usually unknown, and it tends to appear in adults.
    Symptoms
    The onset of Spasmodic Torticollis usually occurs in the fourth or fifth decade of life. The first symptoms may appear gradually with the head tending to rotate to one side when a person tries to keep it straight or during a stressful situation. The symptoms may progress slowly, but they often reach a plateau after about two to five years. Five to 10 percent of patients with Spasmodic Torticollis experience a spontaneous recovery, usually within five years after symptom onset. This recovery seems to be more common in those individuals whose symptoms began before 40 years of age and in those with a milder form of the disease. The disorder may also recur after apparent remission.
