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.
