Abstract: | Background: Cervical dystonia (CD) is a rare and difficult-to-treat disorder. Various neurosurgical options are available, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. We investigated using the modified McKenzie-Dandy operation for a patient with CD who failed selective peripheral denervation (SPD). Case Description: A 42-year-old man presented left-sided rotational torticollis for 3 years. He was referred for surgery after treating with a variety of oral medications and repeated botulinum toxin injections that became ineffective. For the first operation, the patient underwent SPD (modified Bertrand’s operation); unfortunately, the postoperative outcome was unsatisfactory, and the operation was considered a failure. After his symptoms did not improve after 6 months, the modified McKenzie-Dandy operation was performed. Immediately following surgery, he experienced satisfactory outcomes. He was able to resume his normal activities and employment after 1 month after recovering from his temporary swallowing difficulties. He only complained of minor neck pain and no recurrence was observed after 3 years follow-up. Conclusion: For patients who have failed SPD, a modified McKenzie-Dandy procedure is a feasible and effective option. The procedure is relatively safe when performed properly, and the long-term effects can be maintained. |
