title: [Spasmodic torticollis and frontal meningioma].
abstract: 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.
