摘要
A case of Sandifer syndrome is presented. It is similar to previously reported cases. The diagnosis may be overlooked if symptoms are mild. Neurologic disorders are often suspected. Infants or children with torticollis, dystonic posturing or atypical seizures should be evaluated for Sandifer syndrome, Exhaustive and expensive neurologic examinations may be unnecessary. Early diagnosis allows prompt treatment and resolution of the problem. Medical management is usually successful.
