INFANTILE DISEASES<br />
Abnormal Head Posture in a Patient With Normal Ocular Motility: Sandifer<br />
Syndrome.<br />
Kostakis, A et al.<br />
JPOS <strong>2008</strong>;45: 57-58.<br />
Sandifer syndrome consists of torticollis and dystonic body posturing<br />
and movements in association with gasteroesophageal reflux<br />
with or without a hiatus hernia. Ophthalmologists may be the<br />
first clinician consulted to evaluate the head tilt, especially in the<br />
absence of neurologic features. Pediatric ophthalmologists in particular<br />
should be aware of this syndrome and well-versed in the<br />
differential diagnosis of head tilt in the absence of ocular findings.<br />
