Resumos

Foi estudada o caso de um paciente de 57 anos com meningeoma frontal esquerdo, cuja única manifestação clínica foi torcicolo espasmódico contralateral. Há poucos casos relatados na literatura de lesões frontais levando a movimentos involuntários, sendo analisada a possibilidade de uma desconexão funcional entrei o córtex frontal e o complexo estriato-lentículo-talâmico.

A 57 year-old man developed a spasmodic torticollis with involuntary deviation of the head to the right-side. He had a left paramedian frontal meningioma. The association of spasmodic torticollis and other movement disorders has been reported with contralateral lesions in the basal ganglia. Its occurrence in association to a frontal lesion appears to be much less frequent suggesting a possible disorder of frontostriatal connections.

SUMMARY

A 57 year-old man developed a spasmodic torticollis with involuntary deviation of the head to the right-side. He had a left paramedian frontal meningioma. The association of spasmodic torticollis and other movement disorders has been reported with contralateral lesions in the basal ganglia. Its occurrence in association to a frontal lesion appears to be much less frequent suggesting a possible disorder of frontostriatal connections.
