Adult Presentation

Adult presentation of neglected congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is rare. Therefore, efficacy of surgical treatment for adult CMT is unclear. We experienced a case of neglected CMT in a 28-year-old male patient and report the surgical result here. We conducted unipolar resection at the distal end of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). After surgery, the range of neck movement and head tilt improved, and his appearance was cosmetically improved despite the long-standing nature of the deformity. We concluded that surgical management of adult patients with neglected congenital muscular torticollis may be a treatment option.

Postural Deformity

Background and study aim: Torticollis is the postural deformity of head and neck. Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a postural deformity of head and neck detected at birth or shortly after birth, primarily resulting from unilateral shortening of Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), In neonates and infants, patient may cure conservatively by physiotherapy but surgery is the treatment of choice for children and adolescents. Here we show our experience regarding management of congenital muscular torticollis with physiotherapy. Patients and Methods: This is an observational descriptive study. Verbal consent from parents was taken. Patients of congenital muscular torticollis with other disease or other congenital anomaly were excluded from study. Twenty patients of congenital muscular torticollis were treated. The cases were enrolled between Nov' 2005 to Oct' 2008 in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Gonosasthaya Somaj Vittik Medical College Hospital, ZH Sikder Women's Medical College Hospital, Shaheed Shurawardy Medical College Hospital. Neonates and infants were treated conservatively with physiotherapy and non responsive cases were referred for surgery. Results: Patients age range from 5 days to 1 year of which eleven were females and nine were males. Sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) was shortened in all cases (12 on right side and 8 on left side). Of 20 patients 6 neonates, rest 14 infants within 1 year age. Out of 20 neonates and infants 17 were cured conservatively with physiotherapy and rest 3 were referred for surgery. Conclusion: Most of the patient of congenital muscular torticollis can be treated conservatively during infancy.

Muscular Torticollis

<p>Congenital muscular torticollis usually results from the shortening or excessive contraction of sternocleidomastoid muscle. Delay in diagnosis and appropriate early therapeutic evaluation can lead to permanent disability. We would like to report two rare cases with congenital muscular torticollis who underwent surgery followed by aggressive physiotherapy. We would like to emphasise the need of an early diagnosis and intervention which leads to best outcome. This can prevent progressive physical deformity. Surgeons should offer the patient with option of release and repair of sternocleidomastoid muscle as it gives excellent result in view of mobility and appearance for child.</p>

Unnecessary Intervention

Fibromatosis colli, also known as ‘sternocleidomastoid tumour of infancy’ or ‘pseudotumour of infancy’, is a rare condition involving fibrosis and swelling, or ‘tumour’ of the sternocleidomastoid muscle in newborns that typically occurs after a traumatic delivery. Although usually self-limited, fibromatosis colli can lead to congenital muscular torticollis and positional plagiocephaly due to uneven forces on the neonatal skull. Ultrasound is the diagnostic imaging modality of choice and can prevent additional imaging and unnecessary intervention.
