  • Title: A case of Sandifer's syndrome with hand tremor.
    Author: Demir E, Saka E, Aysun S.
    Journal: Turk J Pediatr; 2001; 43(4):348-50. PubMed ID: 11765169.
    Abstract:
    A 1.5-month-old boy with Sandifer's syndrome is described. After an uneventful delivery, he presented torticollis, seizure-like dystonic neck movements usually associated with feeding, episodic vomiting, inspiratory stridor and hand tremor in the first month of life. Barium esophagogram demonstrated gastroesophageal reflux, for which medical therapy was started. Children with torticollis and dystonic movements should be evaluated for Sandifer's syndrome. Early diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux may prevent complications.
