Objectives: To reveal demographic factors, etiologies, response to treatment, and to propose a novel treatment algorithm for dropped head syndrome (DHS). Summary of background data: DHS is a rare condition defined by weakness of the cervical paraspinal muscles resulting in passively correctable flexion of the cervical spine.

Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is characterized by severe weakness of the cervical paraspinal muscles that results in the passively correctable chin-on-chest deformity. DHS is most commonly associated with neuromuscular disorders. However, it is not always accompanied by electromyographic findings or n …
