Abstract
Torticollis is a clinical condition in which there are head tilt on the affected side and chin lift toward the contralateral side. Congenital muscular torticollis is the second most common cause of congenital musculoskeletal deformities. Torticollis is one of the most common causes of postural deformity. Congenital muscular torticollis is the most common cause of torticollis, others being nonmuscular causes. The incidence of congenital muscular torticollis is ranging from 0.2% to 3%. We report a 3-year-old female child with muscular torticollis with facial asymmetry. The child was investigated. Computed tomography was normal. The child was treated with sternocleidomastoid release. In this case, we emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention.
