A member asked:
My infant son was diagnosed with congenital torticollis. could this be a symptom of something more serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This is usually quite evident on the initial newborn exam.The baby can be folded into a distorted position that they do not find uncomfortable, that includes neck,jaw and other facial changes.It usually reflects distorted position in the womb. Infants with abnormal neck vertebrae can have a similar appearance, but the exam differs.Some infants acquire torticolas from birth trauma.
