A member asked:
How does one get congenital torticollis (head tilted to the left)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Birth trauma...etc.: Congenital torticollis is thought to be due to injury of the sternocleidomastoid muscle during birth or during the baby's time in the womb. The exact cause is unclear, however. It manifests in infancy but may not be diagnosed until adolescence or even adulthood.
