Episodic syndromes that may be associated with migraine are a group of disorders affecting patients with migraine or with an increased risk of presenting it, and likely represent an early life expression of migraine. Cyclic vomiting syndrome and benign paroxysmal torticollis are well We present four children with benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT) and a review of the literature. BPT appears to be a self-limited disorder that occurs predominantly in females. The attacks of head tilting usually start in infancy, may recur at varying intervals until the age of 1 to 5 years, and
Since Snyder reported first twelve cases of benign paroxysmal torticollis in infancy (BPT) in 1969, about 30 cases have been reported mainly in the North America and Europe, but not in Japan. The authors experienced such a case of one-year-old boy. The attack occurred at the age of 2 months for the
OBJECTIVE
This case study describes a patient diagnosed with acute viral torticollis and illustrates the relevant aspects of differential diagnosis and the collaborative efforts between the chiropractic and allopathic disciplines in establishing an optimum treatment protocol provided by comanagement
Two infants with torticollis and hiatus hernia (Sandifer Syndrome) are presented. Both infants improved with medical management.
