Torticollis

Torticollis

Torticollis also known as wry neck is a condition where the neck becomes painfully tilted or twisted. This condition results due to shortening of cervical muscles. It can be congenital (from damage to sternocleidomastoid muscle at birth) or acquired (from tumors, infections or certain drugs or idiopathic in nature). Treatment consists of conservative approach or surgical intervention and is usually dependent on the cause.
