ABSTRACT
A case of spasmodic torticollis in a 48-year-old man cured by micovascular decompression of the spinal accessory nerve with selective dorsal cervical rhizotomy of the first and second cervical nerves. The 11th nerve was compressed by the posterior inferior cerebellar artery originating from the vertebral artery at the C1 level. After intraoperative identification of each posterior rootlets of C1 and C2 nerves exclusively related with the involved sternocleidomastoid muscle(SCM) using the monopolar electric nerve stimulator, microvascular decompression with selective dorsal cervical rhizotomy was done using the Teflon felt and electrobipolar coagulator. The patient was significantly relieved from symptoms 1 week after operation.
