Treatment of Congenital Muscular Torticollis in Patients Older Than 8 Years

Abstract: The authors treated congenital muscular torticollis by sternocleidomastoid muscle release in 32 patients over 8 years of age who had not received any prior medical treatment or in whom torticollis had recurred since initial treatment. The results were analyzed to compare clinical results after an average of 39 months (range 24-74 months) by dividing the patients into two groups: patients who were still in the growing period (group 1, n=19) and patients who had finished growth (group 2, n = 13) at surgery.

“…Some authors have recommended that asymmetry of the articular facet of the axis persists in CMT patients aged more than 6 years after complete surgical correction. 19 In our case, although a 10 limitation of PROMs is an acceptable result, according to the literature, 13,14,16,20 two patients had persistent limitation of PROMs. Additional study of underlying musculoskeletal anomalies is needed.…”

“…These PROM limitations are acceptable, according to the literature. 13,14,16,20 No spinal accessory nerve injury or wound complication was encountered during this series, and no remaining fibrotic band or tightness was detected during follow-up. SCM columns were evaluated postoperatively in only 10 cases.…”
