This is a retrospective study of a consecutive case series of dropped head syndrome (DHS). ⋯ In DHS, contrast-enhanced MRI showed intramuscular enhancement of the cervical extensor muscles, which was not present in non-DHS cases. The enhanced muscles included the splenius capitis muscle in all cases. These findings may be useful for developing a strategy for DHS treatment.
