The authors evaluated the results of selective peripheral denervation (SPD) of posterior rami of the cervical spinal nerves and/or the accessory nerve for spasmodic torticollis. Five patients underwent seven op-erations in total and the results were evaluated with the modified Tsui's score which was used in the clinical trial of botulinum toxin (BTX) for torticollis in Japan. The preoperative score was 10.8±2.2 (mean±S.D.) and the postoperative score was 1.4±1.7. The score changes indicated the effects of the operation as “excel-lent” in four cases and “good” in one case. These re-sults indicate that SPD is superior to BTX in terms of control of symptoms in spasmodic torticollis. After the initial operation, however, two patients showed the so-called “mole-hitting game phenomenon” in which nor-mal muscles develop abnormal contraction after de-nervation of abnormal muscles. This forced us to per-form the second operations. Although this phenomenon was first described in botulinum toxin treatment, this is probably the first report in surgically denervated cases.
