Ophthalmological, muscular, and bony torticollis are the three types of misconceptions that are most likely to appear in infants. There is also a situation where the baby habitually tilts his head to one side, resulting in habitual torticollis. Ophthalmopathic torticollis is caused by the child's strabismus, which makes him have to tilt his head when looking at things.

Spasmodic torticollis, previously taken Chinese and Western medicines, the neck is crooked to the right, muscle stiffness, increased pain in straightening, abnormal bowel and bowel movements, and difficulty walking. Give correction to the return of the soup plus or minus, lily, rehmannia rehmannia, rehmannia rehmannia, tortoise plate, white peony, boiled licorice, whole scorpion, turtle carapace, etc. 30 doses, decoction in water, 1 dose per day, divided into 2 doses per day.

Sixth diagnosis: spasmodic torticollis did not appear again, plus Clematis, Morinda officinalis, etc. 30 doses.

After that, more than 120 doses of medication** were added or subtracted as appropriate due to changes in the disease syndrome, and all the symptoms were basically recovered. In order to consolidate the efficacy, 30 doses were given before. After 1 year of follow-up, everything was normal.

For congenital muscular torticollis, 90% of children have a tendency to heal naturally, and massage and manual correction are not feasible. For children with sternocleidomastoid mass, the mother should be instructed to use torticollis pillows and sandbags during breastfeeding and in the supine position, keep the child's head in the corrected position, and observe regularly. If the sternocleidomastoid muscle is significantly shortened and stiffened after more than 6 months of observation, and spasmodic cords can be palpated, surgery should be performed to prevent facial asymmetry and skeletal deformity**.

During surgery, the sternocleidomastoid muscle is severed or removed at the junction of the sternum and clavicle, as well as the shortened subtendon tissue. Because of the potential for recurrence, postoperative management is important and the head and occipital region should be immobilized in their normal positions. For congenital bony torticollis, the main consideration is the primary disease, such as the abnormality of the odontoid process, the fusion of the atlanto-occipital vertebrae, and the fusion vertebrae, skull base defects, etc.

Milder torticollis that can be compensated can be temporarily disregarded, closely observed, and if the torticollis is further aggravated or accompanied by neurological symptoms, surgery should be the main treatment.
