Congenital torticollis

07/01/2015 - "Surgical treatment for neglected congenital muscular torticollis produced satisfactorily successful results, with improvement in both the range of motion of the neck and secondary skeletal deformities. "
07/03/2012 - "The purposes of this study were to quantify craniofacial deformity and its postsurgical change in patients with congenital muscular torticollis and to analyze this change with reference to the age at surgery. "
01/01/2004 - "The purpose of this study was to use three-dimensional computed tomography imaging for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the craniofacial deformity in a series of patients with uncorrected congenital muscular torticollis, and to assess age as a precipitating factor for severity of the deformity. "
01/01/2013 - "Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is an idiopathic postural deformity evident shortly after birth, typically characterized by lateral flexion of the head to one side and cervical rotation to the opposite side due to unilateral shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. "
09/04/2012 - "Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is the third commonest congenital deformity, commonly presenting in the first week of life. "

12/01/2002 - "The aim of this study was to investigate the mid-term results of bipolar release in congenital muscular torticollis patients over 6 years of age, and the efficacy of frontal cephalometric analysis in the determination and follow-up of facial asymmetry. "
05/01/1995 - "These findings, along with previous studies of congenital muscular torticollis, infer that the two anatomic abnormalities associated with congenital SOP (facial asymmetry and tendon asymmetry) do not occur as part of the same developmental sequence, but the facial asymmetry develops as a consequence of a chronic head tilt from a young age."
08/01/2013 - "In congenital muscular torticollis, facial asymmetry is progressive if the contracted sternocleidomastoid muscle is not released, although cranial asymmetry is already determined in those younger than 6 months. "
01/01/2009 - "[Facial asymmetry in children with congenital muscular torticollis after surgical treatment]."
12/01/2002 - "According to the congenital muscular torticollis evaluation system, the outcome was excellent in 2 of the patients, good in 6, fair in 2 and poor in 2. Asymmetry was not severe in all patients at the beginning of therapy according to PSA values, being insignificant in 2, mild in 6, and severe in 4. The PSA results of the last examination indicated that severe facial asymmetry persisted in 3 patients. "

10/01/2013 - "This study reports on neurodevelopmental outcome of 68 children, aged 7 to 9 years, with a history of congenital muscular torticollis, excluding children with torticollis due to other conditions. "
12/15/1997 - "This study characterized the underlying diseases of children hospitalized with torticollis, excluding congenital torticollis. "
01/01/2013 - "Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is characterized by thickening and/or tightness of the unilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), ending up with torticollis. "
10/30/2010 - "Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is the most common cause of torticollis in childhood. "
02/01/2006 - "Congenital muscular torticollis is benign; missing a case of nonmuscular torticollis could be potentially life threatening."

01/01/2015 - "This study investigated whether torticollis (congenital or acquired) in infants with plagiocephaly affects the achievement of specific gross motor milestones. "
01/01/2006 - "The purpose of the present study is to highlight different therapeutic aspects of the most occurring asymmetries in infancy: congenital muscular torticollis, positional torticollis and plagiocephaly, based on best evidence in current literature. "
10/01/2014 - "Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) and craniosynostosis are diseases that cause plagiocephaly and craniofacial asymmetry in children. "
04/01/1999 - "The incidence of congenital torticollis in association with plagiocephaly is 1 in 300 newborns, with the torticollis resulting from pathologically sustained contraction of the sternocleidomastoid. "
11/01/1996 - "Right plagiocephaly, congenital torticollis, scoliosis involving the upper and mid thoracic region, and a hypoplastic right pectoralis major were the other abnormal features noted. "

03/01/2001 - "From this study, unintentional snapping during the gentle manipulation treatment of congenital muscular torticollis has clinical and ultrasonographic evidence of partial or complete rupture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. "
