Dropped Head Syndrome: A Systematic Review

Conclusions: Treatment for DHS starts with accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology and is often associated with neuromuscular disease. A treatment algorithm for appropriate management of these patients was proposed. A trial of medical management and/or immunomodulators is warranted. Failing nonoperative management, surgery is predictive of a positive outcome. Level of Evidence: Level V.
