Abstract :
Cervical dystonia is a common malaise in the doctor s office. It is a movement disorder characterized by sustained involuntary muscle contractions and abnormal postures: the patient exhibits involuntary left head and neck turning. It can recognize various more or less severe conditions as etiological agents and still remains a difficult disorder to treat. We reviewed a clinical case, analyzing both the moments of differential diagnostics and the therapeutic choices, with particular interest in cerebral electrostimulation.
