Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Neglected congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is a common presentation in developing countries like India. The primary concern of the patients is cosmetic. There are only a few case reports that indicating efficacy of surgery for neglected case of CMT. We report a case of neglected CMT in an 18-year-old female patient which was successfully managed by performing a bipolar resection with z plasty lengthening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM). After surgery, the range of neck movement and head tilt improved. We emphasize that surgical management of adult patients with neglected congenital muscular torticollis is a treatment option yielding good cosmetic and functional outcome. Keywords: Torticollis, Bipolar release, z plasty, Sternocleidomastoid.
