Abstract
in English, French

Cervical dystonia is one of the most frequent form of focal dystonia. However, there's a great lack of awareness of this condition : a long delay to diagnosis is quite common and misdiagnosis is often seen. Nevertheless, this pathology is invalidating and improving diagnosis could have an impact on the treatment and the patient's quality of life.

Trop souvent méconnue, la dystonie cervicale (parfois appelée torticolis spasmodique) est pourtant une des formes les plus fréquentes de dystonie focale. Les errances diagnostiques sont fréquentes et le délai pour établir le bon diagnostic est souvent long. Il s’agit pourtant d’une pathologie invalidante pour laquelle un traitement est envisageable et susceptible de soulager le patient.
