Muscular Torticollis

Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is the third commonest congenital deformity, commonly presenting in the first week of life. Due to contracture and shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the head is tilted towards the affected side; however there may also be a varying degree of rotation towards the contralateral side. Most infants with CMT can be managed non-surgically, however if this is unsuccessful surgery may be necessary, with many different techniques described. In this case report, we describe a 17-year old woman with persistent left sided CMT despite botulinum toxin paralysis that was successfully treated with surgery.
