Originally considered a psychogenic disorder, camptocormia, an abnormal posture with marked flexion of thoracolumbar spine that abates in the recumbent position, is becoming an increasingly recognized feature of parkinsonian and dystonic disorders. Based on this series and a thorough review of the literature of camptocormia, head drop, and bent spine syndrome, the authors propose etiologic classification of camptocormia and conclude that this heterogeneous disorder has multiple etiologies and variable response to systemic and local therapies. |
