    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Virology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Acute torticollis has caused epidemic outbreaks in eastern and northern China since 1975.
    • This condition has not been documented in other countries.
    • The etiology of acute torticollis remains undetermined, though a viral cause is suspected.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive overview of acute torticollis.
    • To detail the disease's terminology, epidemiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic criteria.
    • To discuss treatment options and highlight the unresolved etiological question.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and case series analysis.
    • Epidemiological data compilation from affected regions.
    • Clinical and laboratory findings summarization.

    Main Results:

    • Epidemic outbreaks of acute torticollis reported exclusively in China since 1975.
    • Detailed description of clinical features, laboratory findings, and diagnostic approaches.
    • Etiology remains unconfirmed, with strong indications of a viral origin.

    Conclusions:

    • Acute torticollis represents a significant epidemiological concern in China.
    • Further research is required to elucidate the definitive viral etiology.
    • Understanding the disease's characteristics is crucial for potential future management and prevention efforts.
