Does torticollis run in families? Is torticollis hereditary?

Torticollis is generally not inherited. However, it is best for people with torticollis to find a doctor, who is almost non-existent and can work and live normally.

Clinical studies have shown that 1 5 children with torticollis have a clear family history, so it is believed that its occurrence is related to heredity, but such children are often combined with other malformations such as congenital acetabular dysplasia. Because it is a congenital disease, after birth, it is necessary to observe whether the newborn's head is biased to one side, once the diagnosis is made, it should be as soon as possible, and the sooner the disease, the better. Conservative** is used in infancy, and most outcomes are satisfactory.

After 1 year of age, if non-surgical ** is ineffective, manual hall surgery** is used. It is generally believed that if you are over 3 years old, it is difficult for facial deformity to completely return to normal.

After many children are born, parents will find that there is an oval piece of meat on one side of the neck, like soybeans, peanuts, walnuts, and the texture is relatively hard. Torticollis has a certain genetic chance, and it is also related to other causes, so let's uncover the common causes of torticollis.

Clause. 1. Genetic causes.

Some children are found to have torticollis after birth, which may be inherited from parents or parents, especially if there is torticollis in the family, the probability of occurrence will be higher, but it is not necessarily true, even if the parents have torticollis, the child may not necessarily have it.

Clause. 2. Abnormal bone development.

Torticollis with abnormal skeletal development is often caused by congenital skeletal anomalies, and most children have spondylolisthesis, resulting in only half of the spine, so the torticollis is caused by this condition, and the symptoms are usually manifested within one month after the birth of the child.

Clause. 3. Caused by strabismus.

Some children's torticollis is very closely related to congenital strabismus, and the child's eyes will deviate when looking at things, so over time, the child's neck will also look in the direction of deviation, and slowly torticollis is easy to occur.

Clause. Fourth, caused by certain diseases.

In many cases, if a child suffers from some diseases, such as cerebral palsy, it is common for torticollis to occur due to asymmetrical tension neck reflexes.

Torticollis generally does not appear hereditary, torticollis is more complicated, so far it is not very clear, it may be due to the abnormal position of the fetus in the uterus, sometimes there is a birth injury, but the trapped town can be infected or there is damage to the blood vessels, which will lead to the patient's torticollis, especially the patient's side of the sternocleidomastoid muscle blood circulation has been disrupted, resulting in ischemic atrophy of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, dysplasia, and local spasms can be formed. This results in torticollis. The general patient should be diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, especially the congenital muscular torticollis, the general patient should be timely, and the general patient can be conservative within three months, if the effect is not ideal. ”

First of all, it can be confirmed that torticollis is not inherited, torticollis is actually muscular torticollis that appears before and after birth, if He Lun does not get positive ** will leave sequelae, then this symptom will not be inherited, so you can rest assured that this is not a surgical disease, limb patting judgment does not belong to an internal medical disease, so it will not be inherited, with pediatric muscular torticollis, as long as it is actively carried out, it can be relieved by conservative ** and calendar surgery**.

Spasmodic torticollis is not a hereditary disease, but a disease of the nervous system, the pathogenesis is to affect the basal ganglia, thalamus, etc., and then cause lesions of peripheral nerves, and some of the affected muscles innervate the nerve abnormally thickened, resulting in muscle strength imbalance, causing the occurrence of symptoms.

Spastic torticollis is a focal dystonia, and a small percentage of patients may have a family history. Most people with dystonia have no family history, and Sakura is not genetic. Some patients have a certain predisposing reason for chiropractic disease, such as a previous psychiatric disorder, secondary dystonia after taking drugs, causing spasmodic torticollis.

After the diagnosis of spastic torticollis, genetic tests and DYT tests can be performed to confirm whether the patient has any genetic abnormalities. If there are no genetic abnormalities, there is no direct connection and relationship with heredity.

The condition of most patients with spastic torticollis is unclear, and a small percentage of patients will have a family history. The pathogenesis of spastic torticollis is still not fully understood, and may be related to dysfunction of the basal nucleus, thalamus, vestibular nerve, and other parts. Therefore, in most cases, it is unknown, and a small number of it may be inherited because there is a family history.
