The aetiopathogenesis of spasmodic torticollis has not yet been explained. The problem of surgical treatment selection is also at issue. The authors present own observations in 5 cases treated by operations on the peripheral nervous system. In 3 cases a very good therapeutic results was obtained, in 2 cases the results was not satisfactory. A characteristic fact was appearance of ultimate improvement only several months after the operation, similarly as it is observed after stereotactic operations. In the light of own observations and a survey of the literature the authors reach the conclusion that operations on the peripheral nervous system as the first stage of surgical treatment give good results in most cases.
痉挛性斜颈的病因发病机制尚未得到解释。手术治疗方式的选择问题也存在争议。作者介绍了对5例接受周围神经系统手术治疗的病例的观察结果。3例获得了非常好的治疗效果，2例效果不理想。一个值得注意的事实是，如同立体定向手术后所观察到的那样，术后几个月才出现最终改善。根据自身观察和文献综述，作者得出结论：作为手术治疗的第一阶段，周围神经系统手术在大多数情况下能取得良好效果。
