    Abstract:
    Sandifer syndrome is an uncommon clinical entity characterized by gastroesophageal reflux, torticollis and paroxysmal dystonic postures. For the wide variability in clinical expression it is diagnosed as neurological disease. We report on a 3-year-old patient who presented sudden extensions of the head and neck with tilting of the head one side and severe arching of the spine. It is presented a review of the related literature.
