Sažetak
Dystonia as a side effect of medications is typical for therapy with neroleptics that is blocators of dopaminergic (DA) receptors. It occurs in all ages and opposite to other extrapyramidal effects of neuroleptics it is also typical in younger age. We can differentiate acute dystonic reaction (possible generalized form) that occurs after application of antiemetics-blocators DA receptors during childhood. During treatment with neroleptics of adults the occurrence of focal dystonias is possible in the clinical practice and very often it presents a diagnostic problem. It is necessary to have knowledge about clinical presentation and distribution of dystonia in order to treat the disorder efficiently. The most common form of focal dystonia is cervical dystonia that strikes musculature of the neck, and is characterized by torticolis (torsion of the neck), retro/anterocolis (extension of the neck onward or backward), and laterocolis (laterally). Retrocolis presents the most frequent form of side effects of neuroleptics, while other forms appear often in idiopathic illness. Early recognition is necessary for successful treatment.
