Maintaining ‘V-Contour’ of the Neck after Surgery for Neglected Congenital Muscular Torticollis in an Adult (A New Technique)
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 12
Abstract
ABSTRACT In Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT), also called twisted neck or wryneck, an individual holds his or her head tilted to one side. There is a little consensus on the treatment approach of neglected CMT after skeletal maturity in adults. This case report describes a case of an 18-year-old male who presented with neglected CMT and was successfully managed using a novel surgical technique wherein after releasing the clavicular head of Sternocleidomastoid (SCM), proximal attachment was released while keeping the sternal head intact.
