Sternocleidomastoid Imbalance Versus Congenital Muscular Torticollis: Their Relationship to Positional Plagiocephaly

Abstract: Seventy-six percent of the sample was found to have some degree of SCM dysfunction, whether it be SCM imbalance or CMT. The finding that over three quarters of our population suffers from some form of SCM dysfunction, either SCM imbalance or CMT, suggests that any degree of SCM dysfunction may act as a precursor to positional plagiocephaly and therefore should be recognized and treated at the earliest opportunity.

“…7,[13][14][15]29 It is unclear whether these characteristics contributed to the development of the plagiocephaly or were secondary to the development of a flat spot that became a preferred resting position. Golden et al 14 postulated that supine sleepers do not develop neck and upper-body strength to the same level as side or prone sleepers.…”

“…Benzer şekilde primer DP, KMT'ye neden olabilmektedir. Bu durum KMT ve DP'nin eş zamanlı olarak tedavi edilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir (31). Başlangıçta iyi huylu bir problem olarak görülen KMT'nin, başarılı bir şekilde tedavi edilmediği takdirde, süregelen ve baskın hale gelen baş deformitesine neden olduğu ve tipik belirtilerinin oksiputta düzleşme, aynı taraf alında öne çıkma ve hemifasyal hipoplazi olan kraniyofasyal deformiteleri tetiklediği bildirilmiştir.…”

Bahsedilen nedenlerden dolayı, KMT doğasına bırakılmaması gerektiği düşünülen problemler arasında yerini almıştır (21,31).…”
