title: Positional torticollis while lying on side.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Spasmodic torticollis refers to involuntary dystonic movements of the head that may be associated with certain body and neck positions. The pathophysiology of dystonia is not fully known.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report a case of torticollis that was unusual in the sense that it occurred only when the patient was lying on one side.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The cause of the cervical dystonia in this patient was unclear and the positional nature of the movements was unusual.
