Cervico-ocular function in patients with spasmodic torticollis.
The cervico-ocular (COR) and active and passive vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VOR) were measured in seven patients with spasmodic torticollis (ST) and six normal controls. The COR was found to be weak or absent in both groups. The VOR gain was similar in the two groups but five patients had a significant asymmetry of the response. There was no evidence of abnormal cervico-vestibular interaction du...
متن کاملSaccadic function in spasmodic torticollis.
Twelve patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis were compared with 19 normal controls on tests of saccadic eye movements thought to depend upon normal basal ganglia function. The patients were able to make random, predictive, remembered, and self-paced saccades equally as well as control subjects. This suggests that those parts of the basal ganglia which may be damaged in spasmodic tortic...
متن کاملRemission in spasmodic torticollis.
In 26 patients with spasmodic torticollis followed up for a median period of 12 years, the frequency of sustained remission was 23%, the median duration of remission was 8 years and duration of torticollis before remission 3 years. These results are more favourable than stated in the literature and should be taken into consideration before recommending surgical treatment.
متن کاملVestibular hyperreactivity in patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis.
Ocular motor tests performed on 14 patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis were normal. The vestibulo-ocular reflex tested in eight patients showed a significant high level in seven. It is suggested that this phenomenon is secondary rather than the cause of spasmodic torticollis.
متن کاملVestibular involvement in spasmodic torticollis.
Vestibular findings in a group of 35 patients with spasmodic torticollis without other otological or neurological symptoms were reviewed. The most consistent abnormality, present in more than 70% of cases, was a directional preponderance of vestibular nystagmus in the dark in a direction opposite to the head (chin) deviation. Rigidly clamping the head to a rotating chair did not abolish the dir...
