The dropped head syndrome, which occurs in a variety of neuromuscular disorders, is usually not due to an inflammatory process and generally either self-limited or nonresponsive to therapy. We present an 80-year-old woman who developed progressive neck weakness over a few months due to a focal and restricted inflammatory process involving the neck extensor muscles. She responded dramatically to treatment with immunosuppressive therapy.
垂头综合征发生于多种神经肌肉疾病，通常并非由炎症过程引起，一般呈自限性或对治疗无反应。我们报告一名80岁女性，因涉及颈部伸肌的局灶性局限性炎症过程，在数月内出现进行性颈部无力。她对免疫抑制治疗反应显著。
