Dropped head syndrome due to neuromuscular disease: clinical manifestation and evaluation

Abstract

In this article, we discuss the clinical approach to patients with dropped head syndrome and identify the various neuromuscular causes of dropped head syndrome, including muscle, neuromuscular junction, peripheral nerve, and motor neuron etiologies. We aim to increase awareness and recognition of the entity of dropped head syndrome and factors that may predict responses to immunomodulating therapy.
