Benign paroxysmal torticollis of infancy: four new cases and linkage to CACNA1A mutation.

Developmental medicine and child neurology - 1 Jul 2002

Giffin N J, Benton S, Goadsby P J

Benign paroxysmal torticollis of infancy (BPTI) is a disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of head tilt secondary to cervical dystonia. Attacks are often accompanied by vomiting, pallor, and ataxia, settling spontaneously within hours or days. Episodes begin within the first 12 months of life and resolve by 5 years.
