We report on a 44‐year‐old man who suffered from severe anterocollis. Repeated computed tomographically controlled injections of botulinum toxin into the right longus colli muscle allowed a precise location of the needle and injection of the toxin, leading to clear improvement of symptoms. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society
