Abstract
Benign paroxysmal torticollis is an episodic functional disorder of unknown etiology that occurs in the early months of life in healthy individuals. The child's head tilts to one side for a few hours or days, usually without any associated symptoms. The disorder, which disappears within the first few years of life, is often misinterpreted and the patient pointlessly undergoes numerous tests. We present our series of 22 patients observed at the pediatric neurology outpatients clinic in Padova with a view to refreshing the pediatrician's memory on this frequent, benign pathology.
