Experimental Torticollis in Cats and Monkeys: Effect of Lesions and Drugs

View through CrossRef
AbstractThis chapter provides supporting evidence that torticollis has a frontal and a horizontal component, related to dysfunction involving different systems. The posture and movements of the head are disturbed in a different manner according to the lesion inducing the torticollis. Moreover, the frequent occurrence of mixed forms of torticollies in humans may imply that a unifocal lesion can be responsible for head disturbances that involve interrelated systems. A parallel can be drawn between the variability of responses induced by the drugs in the experimental models of torticollis and the drug responses variability reported in patients with spasmodic torticollis.
