Retrocollis

Retrocollis

Retrocollis is an extended posture of the neck. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP; Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome) is commonly associated with retrocollis (cf. antecollis in multiple system atrophy). Retrocollis may also be a feature of cervical dystonia (torticollis) and of kernicterus.
