We studied a case series of 9 patients with posttraumatic cervical dystonia, in whom involuntary muscle spasms and abnormal head postures occurred within 7 days after cervical injury. Patients were examined, treated with botulinum toxin as necessary, and were followed up to 5 years. Based on our observations of these cases, we propose that complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) could represent a variant of posttraumatic cervical dystonia that may develop over time after the initiation of dystonia.
我们研究了一组9例创伤后颈部肌张力障碍患者,这些患者在颈部受伤后7天内出现了肌肉不自主痉挛和异常头部姿势。对患者进行了检查,必要时用肉毒杆菌毒素进行治疗,并随访了5年。基于对这些病例的观察,我们提出复杂性区域疼痛综合征(CRPS)可能是创伤后颈部肌张力障碍的一种变体,可能在肌张力障碍开始后随着时间的推移而发展。
