Wry neck is a neurological symptom which can include a twisted or sagging neck, and other movements such as running in circles or walking backward may be seen. It can be caused by a vitamin E or thiamine deficiency, a head or neck injury, and can be an early symptom of certain diseases that affect the brain. Mareks disease, fowl cholera, and some viral respiratory diseases are some. Most people try vitamin E 400 IU daily, a little scrambled egg for a small amount of selenium which helps the E, and a small amount of extra vitamin B complex for thiamine. Many foods contain thiamine.
