Torticollis

Congenital muscular torticollis is caused by shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle with the head tilted to the affected side.

In general, torticollis can be congenital or acquired (ocular, neurogenic, psychogenic, secondary to infection or trauma );
etiology of congenital torticollis: not exactly known (muscle rupture, intrauterine malposition, pressure, ischemia , genetic factors); incidence 0.4%; appears 2 weeks after birth, swelling increases within 4 months ;
treatment is surgical: total extirpation of the fibrotic sternocleidomastoid muscle, upper / lower tenotomy of the muscle attachment, Ferkel's operation (Z-plasty of the muscle with its lengthening).
