Does congenital bony torticollis affect intelligence 50

Congenital cervical fusion deformity has three major clinical features: short and thick neck, low posterior hairline, and limited neck movement. However, not all patients have these characteristics, and Gray et al. believe that only 32% have a typical triad.

1. Short and thick neck: It is often not obvious, but if you look closely, its neck is shorter than that of normal people. The face is asymmetrical, widening from the mastoid process to the acromion on both sides of the neck**, with a wing-like neck.

2. Low posterior hairline: the main manifestation is that the posterior hairline is significantly lower than that of normal people.

3. Limitation of cervical spine movement: Due to the fusion of the vertebral body, the range of motion of the cervical spine is obviously limited, and the rotation and scoliosis are particularly limited. The multi-segment and full-segment fusion activities were significantly limited, and the single-segment and lower-segment fusion was less obvious.

4. Short neck deformity caused by fusion of upper cervical spine, often combined with occipital neck deformity, mostly appears neurological symptoms in the early stage, mainly manifested as spinal cord compression caused by occipital instability.

5. Short neck deformity caused by fusion of middle and low cervical spine is mostly not accompanied by neurological symptoms in the early stage. With age, the mobility of the non-fused cervical vertebrae in the upper and lower fused vertebrae increases, and strain and degeneration also occur. Degenerative changes include bone hyperplasia at the posterior edge of the vertebral body and thickening and calcification of ligament structures, and the above pathological changes will lead to spinal stenosis, reduced buffer space on the epidural of the cervical spinal cord, and neurological symptoms can be caused once minor trauma is encountered, so almost all such patients have obvious neurological symptoms after suffering minor trauma.

It is clinically characterized by mild trauma and severe symptoms, which can cause quadriplegia, and x-rays do not show obvious signs of bone damage.

6. Short neck deformity combined with cervical ribs, latent spina bifida, nerve root or plexus distribution deformity, arm pain, low back pain and sciatica may occur. Patients with heart malformations and renal malformations will also have corresponding clinical symptoms. In addition, short neck deformities can be combined with scoliosis, high scapula, and webbed deformities.

The diagnosis of short neck deformity is sufficient based on the clinical presentation, x-rays, and CT scans of the disease. MRI can clearly show the segment of cervical spine fusion, and can determine the location and severity of spinal cord compression, providing a reliable basis for the selection of ** program, it is worth noting that in infants and young children due to incomplete ossification of the vertebral body, there is a zona pellucida similar to the intervertebral disc between the fused vertebral bodies, and careful observation will find that this zona pellucida is narrower than the normal intervertebral space; If the diagnosis is not definitive, flexion and extension dynamic lateral cervical spine radiographs can be performed, and the vertebral body segments lose the smooth curve of the normal cervical spine without changing the intervertebral space.

Methods: The choice of regimen for short neck deformity is based on the number and location of the deformity vertebral bodies and the presence or absence of neurological symptoms.

Not necessarily. Which one are you asking?

It's going to be discussed by people.,That's hard to say.,More or less it might affect a little bit.

Look at the later recovery, if the recovery is good, there will be no obvious sequelae.

People can't detect the disease.

1. Psychological aspect: mild patients are often reluctant to participate in normal social activities because of abnormal neck posture, and even have a sense of fear of social activities.

2. Work impact: due to involuntary or continuous twisting or deflection of the head and neck, walking, housework and work cannot be carried out, and even basic life activities such as eating and drinking cannot be completed, and I feel that "life is worse than death", which is very painful.

3. Cause other diseases: continuous spasm of neck muscles and neck skew and twist can produce bone hyperplasia or damage of the cervical spine, especially the abnormality of the craniocervical junction or atlantoaxial vertebrae, and the involvement of vertebral arteries can cause insufficient blood supply to the brain.

In the later stage, if the condition is severe, it will produce depression, and it will also affect life.

Visual disturbances Cervical scoliosis Decreased eye on the affected side, bilateral facial deformity.

It affects life and work, and I feel uncomfortable.

The inconvenience of life has a great psychological impact.

It's all about all aspects, especially mental.

It will be very harmful to life and psychology.

Affect life, work, socialization.

Spastic torticollis is an extrapyramidal disorder characterized by torsion or clonic tilt of the cervical muscles. The clinical manifestations are slow, the head is inadvertently twisted to one side, and the neck is flexed to the other side, which is aggravated by agitation, and the condition is changeable. The hazards of spastic torticollis are:

First, it can be accompanied by deformities, such as cervical vertebrae deformity. 2. Visual impairment can occur, and the eyes are not at the same level due to torticollis, which can easily cause visual fatigue and affect vision. 3. Cervical scoliosis is mainly caused by the rotation of the head and neck to the unaffected side, thus causing compensatory scoliosis to the unaffected side.

Fourth, the eye on the affected side descends, due to the sternocleidomastoid muscle contracture, resulting in the patient's eye position from the original horizontal shape to the downward displacement, fifth, there can be bilateral facial deformation, due to the rotation of the head resulting in the size of the bilateral side holes, resulting in facial deformation.

Serious impact on physical and mental health.

There is a feeling of stiffness in the neck and it affects the appearance.

There are many inconveniences to life.

Bony torticollis generally needs to be operated on, for example, the hemivertebral body will increase with age, and the aggravation is not only the cervical spine, but also other changes if you are older, such as strabismus, the face is large and small, etc.

Chinese medicine has not yet heard of it, I only know Western medicine, I hope these can give you some help:

Congenital muscular torticollis generally cannot recover on its own, and once it is found, it should be done as soon as possible** to avoid secondary spinal curvature and facial skeletal deformity in the later stage.

1) Non-surgical**. Within 1 year of age, the child can first use conservative**: massage the lump, and correct the manipulation, several times a day; Sandbag correction on the affected side while sleeping; or corrected with a brace, supplemented by physical **.

This method is often effective for mild torticollis, but for severe cases and children older than 1 year of age, the above methods are often ineffective and surgery is required**.

2) Surgery**. The surgery can be performed under local anesthesia or, for those who are unable to cooperate, under general anesthesia. Make a small incision at the two transverse fingers of the upper edge of the clavicle and make a transverse incision to cut off the shortened muscle, fully loosen the traction restriction of the muscle on the meridian, and fix it externally with a cervical collar for 6-8 weeks after surgery to consolidate the surgical effect and prevent **.

Patients with long-term torticollis often experience double vision and imbalance after surgery, which will recover on their own after a period of time. However, for older patients with facial asymmetry, further surgical reshaping is required.

3) Patients with bony torticollis must correct their primary bony deformity, which needs to be done in orthopedics**. Secondary torticollis needs to be the primary condition, and torticollis can be prevented or gradually eliminated as long as these triggers are eliminated.

My child is congenital muscular oblique blind neck, I massage it at home, the best time is before the age of 1, but I have not heard of congenital bony torticollis grinding and respecting, no key whether you confirm it.

Congenital torticollis refers to the deformity of the neck tilted to one side immediately after birth, which is called myogenic torticollis caused by muscle lesions; A deformity of skeletal development is called osteogenic torticollis.

Congenital torticollis refers to a congenital unilateral contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, resulting in an asymmetrical deformity of the head and neck, with the head tilted to the affected side and the jaw turned to the unaffected side. It is a fibrous contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side and an ipsilateral deviation of the neck. It is usually caused by birth trauma, abnormal delivery or abnormal fetal position, resulting in sternocleidomastoid muscle injury, hematoma organization, and contracture.

Congenital muscular torticollis was reported in 1912 by Klippel and Feil and is called Klippel-Feil syndrome. Also known as congenital bony torticollis or congenital cervical fusion deformity, it refers to the fusion of two or more cervical vertebrae. The main manifestation is shortening of the cervical spine.

MRI can clearly visualize the segments of cervical spine fusion and determine the location and severity of spinal cord compression.

Congenital torticollis, which is not effective in the early stage**, will appear after the age of two years. The main manifestations are facial asymmetry, the distance from the outer corner of the eye to the mouth corner of the mouth is asymmetrical, the distance between the affected side is shortened, and the unaffected side is increased.

The position of the eye on the affected side is reduced, and because the eyes are not on the same level, it is easy to produce visual fatigue and vision loss; The face on the unaffected side is round and full, while the affected side is narrow and flat.

Compensatory scoliosis deformity can occur in the cervical spine, and asymmetrical changes can also occur on the child's entire face, including the nose and ears, so once parents find that their child has congenital torticollis symptoms, they should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition and affecting the child's growth and development and future life.

There are many complications, such as large and small faces, high and low shoulders, etc.

Torticollis is not inherited. Torticollis can be divided into congenital muscular torticollis and congenital bony torticollis, the former is a congenital neck deformity with a crooked head and neck caused by a contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side, which is quite common, and the latter is a torticollis caused by a deformity of cervical bone development, which is rare, and surgery is generally chosen

It depends on the severity of your condition.

Torticollis can be divided into congenital muscular torticollis and congenital bony torticollis. The former is a congenital neck deformity caused by a contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side of the head and neck that is skewed, and is quite common; The latter is torticollis caused by a deformity of cervical spine bone development and is less common. Congenital muscular torticollis is not effective in the early stage**, and facial deformities will appear after the age of 2 years.

The assistant police should also pay attention to it, because the assistant police will cause some problems with the cervical spine, otherwise they will either have pain here or there in the future, and they must go to the hospital as soon as possible, and they must go to the hospital as soon as possible, and they must go to the treatment as soon as possible.

It is recommended to ** as soon as possible, do not wait until the later stage, what disease is not easy to treat in the later stage.

Secondary torticollis has a brief history of rapid onset and can be found due to cold wind invasion, pharyngeal or cervical spine infection, and trauma. Pain is often more pronounced.
