Abstract

Spasmodic torticollis was an early designation used for cervical dystonia. The origin of this name is attributed to French physician and writer François Rabelais in the mid-sixteenth century. This early description of torticollis in the book Pantagruel was an inspiration for the understanding of cervical dystonia. The art expressed in Rabelais' literature ‒ which was immortalized by the drawings of Gustave Doré ‒ influenced poetry, art, and photography, and led to the adoption of the term torticollis in the neurological sciences.

弗朗索瓦-拉伯雷和他的癔症巨人

痉挛性斜颈是颈肌张力障碍的早期称谓。这一名称起源于十六世纪中叶的法国医生和作家弗朗索瓦-拉伯雷（François Rabelais）。拉伯雷在《潘塔格鲁埃尔》一书中对扭转性颈椎病的早期描述启发了人们对颈肌张力障碍的认识。拉伯雷文学作品中所表现的艺术（古斯塔夫-多雷的绘画使其永垂不朽）对诗歌、艺术和摄影产生了影响，并促使神经科学采用了 "肢体扭转症 "这一术语。
