Tortícolis muscular congénita en fase de adulto

Congenital muscular torticollis is a common condition. Because it is easy to recognize and its successful treatment during the first months of life, clinical changes are not usually found in the late childhood or adult age. As few cases prevail after the first years of life, there is less information about treatment decisions to follow. When physical therapy fails, these treatments are basically relegated to botulinum toxin or specific surgery. We report the case of a patient who was finally diagnosed in adulthood of congenital muscular torticollis. This patient was treated by unipolar sectioning of the clavicular portion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. This was followed by specific, early and intense rehabilitation, with very good esthetic and functional results.
