  • Title: [Two children with unusual causes of torticollis: primitive neuroectodermal tumor and Grisel's syndrome].
    Author: Koot RW, Henneveld HT, Albrecht KW.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1998 May 02; 142(18):1030-3. PubMed ID: 9623206.
    Abstract:
    Two children were presented with a torticollis. One, a 2-year-old girl, had a primitive neuroectodermal tumour of the cervical spinal cord which could not be radically removed surgically (the patient died three days later), the other, a 9-year-old boy, had the syndrome of Grisel. He was treated with antibiotics, head traction and atlantoaxial posterior spondylodesis. Acquired torticollis is a frequent innocent symptom in children with cervical lymphadenopathy following a respiratory tract infection. These cases demonstrate that additional investigation should not be delayed if relief of symptoms is not achieved very soon.
