Presented are four cases of familial spasmodic torticollis, comprising members of three families. The age of onset tended to be family-specific, and no afflicted family member had evidence of more widespread disease (dystonia musculorum deformans). Familial incidence supports the conclusion that spasmodic torticollis is organic in origin. Familial spasmodic torticollis occurs more often than has been generally recognized.
本文介绍了4例家族性痉挛性斜颈病例，涉及三个家族的成员。发病年龄往往具有家族特异性，且没有患病家庭成员有更广泛疾病（变形性肌张力障碍）的证据。家族发病率支持痉挛性斜颈起源于器质性病变的结论。家族性痉挛性斜颈的发生率比普遍认为的要高。
