Abstract

Benign paroxysmal torticollis is a nonepileptogenic disease which courses recurrent cervical dystonic episodes. It's characterised by posture of the head, neck and shoulder tilts to one side. Vomiting, irritability, ataxia, apathy, drowsiness, pallor and in some cases torso tilt to one side that called tortipelvis accompanied during episodes. A two years and four months of age girl who had 10 recurrent episodes was started at 3.5 months is present for reminding to pediatricians this unfamiliar entity and looking over the differential diagnosis.

Özet

Benign paroksismal tortikollis tekrarlayan servikal distoni atakları ile seyreden, nonepileptik, bir hastalıktır. Baş, boyun ve omuzda tek bir tarafa eğilme şeklinde postür değişikliği tipiktir. Ataklar sırasında kusma, irritabilite, ataksi, apati, uyuşukluk, solukluk ve bazı olgularda tortipelvis denilen gövdenin de bir tarafa eğilmesi kliniğe eşlik edebilir. İlk atağını 3,5 aylık iken geçirmiş ve başvuruya kadar atakları 10 kez tekrarlamış olan, iki yaş dört aylık kız hasta pediyatri pratiğinde çok aşina olunmayan bu nadir tablonun hatırlatılması ve ayırıcı tanının tartışılması amacı ile sunulmuştur.
