01/01/2011 - "GPi DBS is an effective treatment for camptocormia in dystonia. "
11/01/2015 - "In this report, we have shown the efficacy of GPi DBS in the treatment of drug refractory dystonia associated camptocormia. "
07/01/2013 - "The total BFM motor score in the second patient with a camptocormia in generalised dystonia improved by 45 %, while the BFM score for truncal flexion improved by 87 %. "
01/01/2011 - "Seven patients (4 with dystonia, 3 with PD; mean age 60.3 years at surgery, range 39-73 years) with camptocormia were included in the study. "
07/01/2013 - "In both patients the effect of the bilateral GPi stimulation on camptocormia was substantial, independent of generalisation of dystonia. "

05/01/2011 - "High-frequency neuromodulation afforded relief of camptocormia and improvement in Parkinson disease symptoms. "
01/01/2015 - "Forty-three patients were included in the study (17 with Parkinson's disease and 26 with idiopathic camptocormia). "
07/01/2014 - "This study aims to investigate the differences in the prevalence and severity of NMS between patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who manifest camptocormia and those who do not manifest camptocormia. "
05/01/2011 - "A 57-year-old woman with Parkinson disease developed severe camptocormia, which did not improve with trials of antiparkinsonian and muscle relaxant medications. "
04/15/2010 - "The objective of our study was to describe the clinical features of camptocormia, an involuntary, marked flexion of the thoracolumbar spine in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and to understand its etiology. "

04/30/2008 - "In conclusion, injection of BTX into the iliopsoas does not appear to be a promising approach for the treatment of parkinsonism-associated camptocormia."
11/01/2006 - "Camptocormia is also observed in a minority of patients with parkinsonism. "
08/01/2014 - "Bent spine syndrome (BSS), defined as an abnormal forward flexion of the trunk resolving in supine position, is usually related to parkinsonism, but can also be encountered in myopathies. "

11/01/2015 - "Although only reported for PD associated camptocormia, evaluation for truncal extensor myopathy is mandatory in these cases also to achieve a good outcome."
01/01/2013 - "In the literature some studies regard camptocormia as a paravertebral myopathy and others as of neurogenic origin. "
08/01/2014 - "Whole-body muscle MRI to detect myopathies in non-extrapyramidal bent spine syndrome."
07/01/2014 - "The phenotype of this myopathy is particular since it involves the axial muscles (camptocormia, swallowing dysfunction) and limb girdle (notably the quadriceps) but also the distal muscles (in particular the fingers' and wrists' flexors) in a bilateral but non-symmetrical manner. "
11/01/2012 - "MFM joins the growing number of myopathies potentially presenting with camptocormia."
