Abstract | Cervical dystonia, is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary neck muscle contractions, abnormal head and neck postures. This case report describes a 63 Year-old male with Parkinsonism and early dementia who developed severe cervical dystonia after starting Donepezil, a cholinesterase inhibitor used to manage cognitive impairment. The patient came with complaints of difficulty in sitting, mild rigidity and anterior neck flexion. Discontinuation of Donepezil led to significant improvement; subsequent treatment with Trihexyphenidyl was effective. This case underscores the importance of monitoring for rare but serious side effects of cholinesterase inhibitors and highlights the need for further research into their mechanisms and risk factors. |
