Congenital Muscular Torticollis: An Overview

Abstract: Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a congenital deformity characterized by unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle resulting in lateral inclination of the neck associated with contralateral torsion. It is a relatively common infantile deformity associated with typically favourable prognosis when early detected and treated. Although stretching exercises is still the most common treatment, this therapeutic approach should be applied early in younger subjects to be efficient. Surgical interv… Show more

“…There are various techniques of surgery, such as the division of both sternal and clavicular heads of SCM muscle, F a i r 0 0 0 0 and lengthening of tight SCM muscle by unipolar release,. [1][2][3] Lengthening of tight SCM muscle by bipolar release, subperiosteal lengthening, endoscopic release, subperiosteal lengthening, and lengthening of tight SCM muscle by unipolar or bipolar release, among other techniques, are difficult and there is a chance of injury to accessory nerves. Endoscopic surgery is a high-tech surgery and needs sophisticated instruments.…”

“…1,2 The incidence of congenital muscular torticollis varies from 0.3 to 2.0% of live births. 3 If diagnosed early, physical therapy yields excellent results, with a good range of movement (ROM) of the neck and no residual deformity. Surgery is indicated for neglected cases and for those with residual deformity after physical therapy.…”

“…Diagnosis is based on medical history and clinical evaluation: neck movement amplitude, ultrasonography for fibrosis and magnetic resonance for tumors (Lal, 1979). Torticollis should not be confused with the nontraumatic rotatory subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint (Grisel syndrome), which is accompanied by pain and has the same tilt and rotation of the head as torticollis or with the Klippel -Fail Syndrome (Angoules et al, 2013).…”
