Case Discussion

Torticollis can be classified as congenital and acquired. Congenital muscular torticollis is classified into three categories according to severity (postural, muscular, and sternocleidomastoid mass (also called fibromatosis colli))

And those causes should be differentiated from acquired torticollis which develops postnatally secondary to trauma, infection, tumors, neurogenic, ocular, and other miscellaneous causes.
