Among 24 of 36 patients with idiopathic spasmodic torticollis referred to one of us over a 10-year period, who were followed up for more than 1 year, we defined three outcome groups. Three patients (13%) underwent complete or almost complete remission at a median of 3.0 years into the illness. Eight patients (33%) had partial remissions, which tended to occur somewhat later than the first group. The remaining 13 patients had no significant improvement in their disease; they were more likely to be older at the onset of the illness, develop constant rather than intermittent neck deviation, and have a "geste antagonistique." As a whole, the study population was exposed to a wide variety of therapeutic interventions that had little, if any, obvious clinical effect.
