There were seemingly permanent changes along the cervical spine region in the adult patients with long-standing, untreated CMT in the form of bending and rotation deformities that might result in residual torticollis postoperatively.

Children with untreated congenital muscular torticollis show progressive anatomical changes of the cervical vertebrae which started at the age of 8 months. The severity of the deformity increased with the advance of age as well as with the severity of sternocleidomastoid tightness, which might result in permanent deformities.
