Overview of dropped head syndrome (Combined survey report of three facilities)

Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is a low prevalence and the clinical features remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the general overview of DHS. The subjects were 67 consecutive DHS patients (17 men and 50 women; average age 72.9 ± 10.2 years) presenting difficulty of horizonta...

description Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is a low prevalence and the clinical features remain unclear. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the general overview of DHS. The subjects were 67 consecutive DHS patients (17 men and 50 women; average age 72.9 ± 10.2 years) presenting difficulty of horizontal gaze in up-right position. The patients' background, global spinal alignment, clinical findings and treatment were analyzed. The peak population of DHS was 75–79-year-old females. The comorbidities included Parkinson's disease in 9 cases, minor trauma in 9 cases, post-cervical operation in 3 cases, mental depression in 3 cases, malignant tumor in 3 cases, diabetes mellitus in 2 cases and rheumatoid arthritis in 2 cases. The C2–C7 cervical coronal vertical axis was distributed more to the right side (2.6 ± 12.8 mm). Regarding sagittal alignment, 24 cases (35.8%) showed negative balanced DHS (N-DHS) and 43 cases (64.2%) showed positive balanced DHS (P-DHS). There were significant differences in C2–C7 angle, T1S, LL and PI-LL between the two groups. Cervical or back pain was present in 62 cases (92.5%), and average numerical rating scale was 3.0 ± 2.6. Fourteen cases (20.9%) recovered (average 11.3 months), but 29 cases (43.3%) did not recover without surgery. Twenty-four cases (35.8%) underwent surgery, 20 for cervical spine and 4 for thoraco-lumbar spine, and horizontal gaze difficulty was improved in all patients post-surgery. DHS was mainly observed in elderly women. About 20% of DHS patients recovered without surgical treatment. DHS was accompanied by scoliosis in 37.3% of the cases.
