“…Surgical release of the SCM is the more traditional alternative for treating recalcitrant CMT. 184,188,197 It is beyond the scope of this CPG to describe the variety of surgical approaches, which generally fall into 3 categories: tendon lengthening, unipolar release of the distal SCM attachment or bipolar release of both SCM muscle attachments. 198,199 There is emerging evidence that use of acellular dermal matrix may yield better post-surgical cervical ROM for corrections after age 8.…”

Background: Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a postural deformity evident shortly after birth, typically characterized by lateral flexion/side bending of the head to one side and cervical rotation/head turning to the opposite side due to unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM); it may be accompanied by other neurological or musculoskeletal conditions. Infants with CMT should be referred to physical therapists to treat these postural asymmetries as soon as they are identified.

“…Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common disorder in neonates and infants with a tumor or tightness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) caused by fibrotic changes [1‐4]. Numerous theories have been proposed, but the true etiology of CMT remains unclear.…”

In CMT with passive neck motion limitation (≥ 10°), patients in the US-normal group demonstrated lesser passive neck motion limitation and older age at presentation than US-abnormal. It seems that US-normal showed shorter treatment duration irrespective of severity of neck motion limitation and age at presentation. Additionally, manual stretching applied before 6 months of age appears to show generally good outcome regardless of US findings.

“…The age of onset of the condition generally occurs and it is often associated with psychological disorders. Treatment of this condition most frequently begins with biofeedback and pharmacotherapy, with non responders undergoing botulinum toxin injections and selective peripheral denervation of the cervical musculature 14 . Congenital torticollis is most frequently a primary condition affecting the sternocleidomastoid muscle.…”

Introduction: Deformity of the neck and limited motion are commonly seen in pediatric orthopedics. The problem may be simply due to an intrinsic cervical issue or may be the manifestation of other underlying problems. To make a diagnosis of the nature and cause of neck deformity in the newborn is very important. Congenital torticollis is a condition that results in the deviation of a child’s head to one side, with accompanying limitation in the range of motion of the neck. Aims and objective: Objective: To investigate the clinical features and outcome of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) with passive neck motion limitation according to whether the finding on ultrasonography (US) is normal or abnormal. Material and methods: A total of 32 patients with Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) who met eligibility criteria were included: age at presentation 6 month to 1 year, limitation of passive neck rotation or lateral flexion were included in this study. Patients underwent physiotherapy and were followed-up monthly. The clinical research with torticollis at the Variety Center for Craniofacial Rehabilitation was done from 2019 to 2021 retrospectively. Clinical records, standardized medical photographs, and cephalometric radiographs of the affected patients were examined.
