Torticollis
Wry neck, or torticollis, is a rotated and tilted neck. The top of the head generally tilts to one side while the chin tilts to the other side.
Symptoms include:
-
limited range of motion of the head
-
headache (adults)
-
neck pain
-
shoulder that is higher than the other
-
stiffness of the neck muscles
-
swelling of the neck muscles (possibly present at birth)
-
preferred breastfeeding on one side
Causes often are the position of the baby in the womb, or traumatic birth.
