Torticollis

Torticollis or "wry neck" is a condition where the neck is turned making the head tilt toward one shoulder and the chin point towards the opposite shoulder. Congenital muscular torticollis is the most common form and happens to babies. Another form of torticollis is spasmodic torticollis, also called cervical dystonia. It is most common in middle-aged adults and is more common in women. In spasmodic torticollis, the muscles around the neck may spasm off and on or all the time. There can be other forms of torticollis with varying causes such as an injury.
