Dystonia as cause of pharyngo-laryngeal motility disorders has not been adequately considered in most clinical ENT practices. This case study of a patient with spasmodic torticollis, Meige's syndrome and pharyngo-laryngeal motility disorder was found to be due to dystonia as the underlying cause. The possibility of local symptomatic therapy with botulinum toxin injections has currently provided the physician with an effective means for alleviating the disorder.
