Overview
Spasmodic torticollis is a neurological movement disorder causing the neck to involuntarily turn to the left, right, upwards, and/or downwards. The condition is also referred to as "cervical dystonia".
Retrocollis is a spasmodic torticollis drawing the head backward. It may be seen in cases using dopamine-blocking neuroleptics. Adolescents and young adults are more susceptible compared to middle-aged and older individuals.
