Zusammenfassung:We report an adult case of cervical dystonia associated with a GNAL mutation. Torticollis first set in when the patient was 19 years old. The disease went into remission but subsequently recurred, with a change in laterality of the torticollis. For two years, the symptoms are managed by a combination of L‐DOPA, trihexyphenidyl, and botulinum toxin.
