What is Torticollis?
Torticollis is a condition in which the neck muscles contract involuntarily, causing the head to twist or tilt to one side. It can be congenital (present at birth) or acquired later due to muscle injury, infection, or neurological issues.
Types of Torticollis
Congenital Muscular Torticollis – most common; caused by shortening or tightness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) at birth
Acquired Torticollis – develops after birth due to trauma, infections, inflammation, or underlying neurological conditions
Symptoms of Torticollis
Head tilted to one side, with chin pointing to the opposite shoulder
Stiffness or tightness in the neck muscles
Asymmetry of the face or skull (in long-standing cases)
Difficulty turning the head or holding it upright
In older children, complaints of neck pain or restricted movement
Diagnosis in Ghaziabad
We perform:
Clinical examination by pediatric surgeon or orthopedic specialist
Ultrasound of the neck muscles (in infants)
X-ray or MRI to rule out spinal issues (in acquired or severe cases)
Neurological assessment if needed
