Article Synopsis
- Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is a condition marked by a correctable chin-on-neck posture due to various neurological disorders, especially neuromuscular ones.
- Isolated DHS, without other neurological symptoms, poses treatment challenges and can severely affect a patient's quality of life, often not responding well to therapies.
- The case study discusses a patient with isolated DHS caused by neck extensor myopathy, highlighting that early diagnosis and intervention can lead to positive treatment outcomes, even when such myopathy usually has a poor response to standard immunomodulatory treatments.
