“…Surgical intervention depend on the extent of deformity and muscle contracture with limited unipolar release at the sternoclavicular origin or a bipolar open tenotomy, a bipolar release, transection of the middle of the muscle, Z-plasties on the attachments of the sternal muscle, and complete excision of the muscle as the case maybe. [3][4][5]10 Schematic representation of the three popular operations for congenital muscular torticollis is shown in Figure 10. Usually the overlying and enveloping deep cervical fascia too has contracted and necessitates division to complete the release and achieve full range of neck movement.…”

<p class="abstract">Wry neck or congenital muscular torticollis is consequent to shortened or contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). A painless, retracted sternocleidomastoid muscle is the characteristic feature which results in tugging the neck towards affected side, and draws the shoulder upward and forces the chin in the opposite direction. The incidence is between 0.4 to 1.9%. A 17 years old lady with torticollis since childhood is being discussed in detail with the steps of surgical intervention; at three sites to attain a sternocleidomastoid release and resistance free neck and thus a free head movement. This was followed by application of cervical collar, active physiotherapy and postural exercises. The ignorance and improper advice during childhood had led to this marked deformity at adolescence.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

“…Surgical options for the affected SCM muscle include unipolar release at the sternoclavicular origin, bipolar open tenotomy [9,12], bipolar release [5], transsection of the middle of the muscle, Z-plasties on the attachments of the sternal muscle [12], and complete excision of the muscle [1]. In many instances the enveloping deep cervical fascia has contracted and must be divided to complete the release [9].…”

Congenital muscular torticollis results from shortening or excessive contraction of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle. The reported incidence varies between 0.4 and 1.9%. Various theories have been proposed, but its true aetiology remains obscure. The deformity is characterized by a practically painless, contracted cordlike SCM muscle, which pulls the head toward the side affected, narrows and draws the shoulder upward, forcing the chin in the opposite direction. Torticollis of congenital origin is a deformity not commonly met with in the practice of maxillofacial surgery. The rarity, lack of, or inadequacy of the previous treatment, together with the advanced age and marked deformity appear to warrant an investigation and report of the outcome. A case of congenital muscular torticollis is presented who reported at the age of 18 years and has been successfully treated by unipolar SCM release.
