Torticolysis is a deformity characterized by the lateral flexion (flexion) of the head to the arm on the side of the localization of deformity and its rotation on the opposite side. It is caused by unilateral contractility of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and secondary muscle relaxation and neck fascias. The word Tortikolis is derived from the Latin words, "tortus", twisted, and "collum" neck. Torticolysis can be: primary (congenital) and secondary (gained). Congenital torsion is manifested at birth. Acquired or secondary torsion is manifested in most infants, in children and adults.
