Strategies for torticollis reduction and successful surgical outcome are discussed.

3
Lack of effective interaction between two major systems controlling head position may contribute to torticollis.
4

9
We describe a case of cervical myelopathy in a patient with PD, multiple fractures involving the atlas and axis vertebrae, and spasmodic torticollis.
10
To determine whether an association exists between the side of degenerative changes and type of spasmodic torticollis a chi(2) test was used.
11
The use of larger doses and injection of additional muscles may be necessary to achieve increased efficacy of botulinum toxin in the treatment of torticollis.
12
Methods: A 9-year-old girl had torticollis of more than 3 months duration develop as a result of an upper respiratory infection.
