Opisthotonus is a specific form of muscle tone characterized by spasms of the back muscles, causing the trunk to assume a peculiar position resembling a backward bend, which may be accompanied by involuntary movements causing significant tension. This condition may occur as a result of various neurological disorders, injuries, infections or intoxications. Its manifestations require immediate medical intervention, as they may indicate serious underlying pathology, including meningitis, reactive conditions to neurotoxic substances or severe brain injury. Opisthotonus is often observed in children, especially at an early age, and requires complex diagnostics and therapy aimed at eliminating the underlying cause.<\/p>\n
