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).
