Sir Charles Bell is better known among neurologists for his descriptions of the clinical consequences of facial nerve lesions. However, as an accomplished physician, anatomist, and artist, he made many other contributions to the fields of neurology and neuroscience. Among those, his descriptions of patients with what we now know as cervical dystonia have not received much attention. In this report, Bell's depictions of patients presenting with a syndrome consistent with cervical dystonia will be discussed, including the identification of many of the different clinical features we currently use for the diagnosis of this disorder and his thoughts about its pathogenesis.
贝尔爵士在神经学家中更为人所知的是他对面神经损伤的临床后果的描述。然而，作为一位杰出的医生、解剖学家和艺术家，他在神经学和神经科学领域做出了许多其他贡献。其中，他对我们现在所知的颈肌张力障碍患者的描述并没有受到太多关注。在本报告中，将讨论贝尔对表现出与颈肌张力障碍一致的综合征的患者的描述，包括对我们目前用于诊断这种疾病的许多不同临床特征的识别，以及他对其发病机制的思考。
