Torticollis is usually caused by the hardening of the neck muscles, which causes the neck to tilt to one side. In infancy, the neck usually has a mass about 1-3 cm in size. Older children have tight necks. If congenital muscular torticollis rarely recovers naturally, it should be treated as soon as possible once it is found.

Massage, turning training, passive traction

Most children develop sternocleidomastoid muscle fibrosis when they are 4 ~ 6 months old. Massage, head training and passive traction can be used. Because of the pain, children and their families can't persist for a long time, and the effect is often poor.

Early operation

Therefore, we advocate early operation to relieve contracture, and the sooner the better. If the degree of torticollis is serious, surgery should be performed in 4 ~ 6 months, and it is not necessary to wait until 65,438+0 years old, because with the increase of age, the asymmetry of neck and face becomes more and more serious, and the bones are prone to deformity.
