Disorders that can cause torticollis include congenital muscular torticollis, acquired torticollis, atlanto-axial rotary subluxation, and spasmus nutans (head tilt, nystagmus and head nodding). Children with acquired torticollis will usually hold their neck to one side and are unwilling to move it because of pain. The cause is usually unknown, but it can be secondary to trauma or inflammation after an upper respiratory tract infection, and generally improves in two to three days without treatment. Things that may make your child more comfortable include using pain relievers and a heating pad (but do not leave your younger child unsupervised with a heating pad) and more rarely a neck brace or muscle relaxers. Acquired torticollis can also be from more serious brain and spinal cord abnormalities, so a careful evaluation by your Pediatrician is usually required and may include cervical spine x-rays and/or a CT scan.

Congenital Muscular Torticollis What is congenital muscular torticollis? Congenital muscular torticollis or Sternomastoid torticollis is a condition that occurs at birth or up to 2 months of age, where the child’s head is tilted to one side. The layman’s term for this condition is wry-neck. What causes congenital muscular torticollis? It is traditionally thought to be due to trauma at birth, that causes bleeding in the muscles of the neck, usually the Sternomastoid muscle. The hematoma (blood clot) within the muscle scars down over time, causing the muscle to shorten, thus pulling the head to the typical tilted position. Sometimes, there is an associated mass that can be seen or felt within the Sternomastoid muscle, and usually thought to be a hematoma that is in the process of forming scar tissue. This mass usually disappears by 3 months of age. More recently, it has been postulated that the sternomastoid muscle shortens as a result of scarring due to an intrauterine vascular disturbance. Still others think that it is due to intrauterine position of the head causing fibrosis or shortening of the muscle. What are the symptoms?

Search September 9, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Back, Ribs, Neck, and Head Torticollis Torticollis Overview Torticollis is one of a broader category of disorders that exhibit flexion, extension, or twisting of muscles of the neck beyond their normal position. In torticollis your neck tends to twist to one side. The condition can either develop slowly if you have a family history of the disorder, acutely from trauma, or as an adverse reaction to medications. When the disorder occurs in people with a family history, it is referred to as spasmodic torticollis. The characteristic twisting of the neck is initially spasmodic and begins between ages 31-50 years. If you leave the condition untreated, it likely will become permanent. Bending or twisting your neck too far can lead to acute torticollis. This condition appears with few symptoms, although often you will appear uncomfortable and will hold your head straight or rotated to one side. It will hurt to move your head to the opposite side. Your neck muscles on the side that hurts often are tender to the touch. The doctor will check your nerve and motor function to rule out spinal cord injury. Certain drugs of abuse such as ketamine, amphetamines, and cocaine as well as commonly prescribed neuroleptic drugs such as prochlorperazine (Compazine), haloperidol (Haldol), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine) can cause acute dystonia (a lack of normal muscle control). This is a condition that involves the sudden onset of involuntary contractions of the muscles of the face, neck, or back. In addition to bending of the head to one side (acute torticollis), you may experience deviation of the eyes (oculogyric crisis) and protrusion of the tongue (buccolingual crisis).

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Torticollis may occur without known cause (idiopathic), be genetic (inherited), or be acquired secondary to damage to the nervous system or muscles. It may develop in childhood or adulthood. Congenital torticollis (present at birth) may be caused by malpositioning of the head in the uterus, or by prenatal injury of the muscles or blood supply in the neck. Symptoms Return to top Enlargement of the neck muscles (possibly present at birth) Asymmetry of an infant's head from sleeping on the affected side Elevation of the shoulder on the affected side Stiffness of neck muscles Limited range of motion Headache Neck pain Head tremor Signs and tests Return to top Various tests or procedures may be done to rule out possible causes of head and neck pain. A physical examination will show a visible shortening of the neck muscles and the head will tilt toward the affected side while the chin points to the opposite side.
