We describe a 48-year-old woman with putaminal gliosis and a sphenoid wing meningioma at the left, who developed dystonia restricted to cervical regions. We propose the following causal chain: the meningioma led to an occlusion of a lenticulo-striatal branch of the middle cerebral artery that caused ventral putaminal ischemia and finally resulting in symptomatic dystonia.

Reduced neck mobility does not seem to be as common after whiplash as in ch...
