Figure 10: Example of a patient with the typical picture of mild cervical dystonia (see upper part of illustration). The patients often interrupt the symptoms by performing specific antagonistic movements (geste antagonistique, see upper right). A marked improvement is seen after the injection of 40 units of Botox ® into the right sternocleidomastoid muscle. The patient can now move her head in all directions.
