Torticollis, commonly known as 'wry neck', is a painful condition characterized by the involuntary contraction of neck muscles, leading to the head tilting to one side and the neck twisting. It is commonly observed in infants; in newborns, it can arise from abnormal positioning in the womb or after a difficult birth, but it can also develop later in life. Common symptoms of torticollis include restricted head movement, headache, or neck pain. In some cases, torticollis symptoms may resolve spontaneously, or they can be alleviated by injecting botulinum toxin into the affected muscles. Treatment options typically include exercises, positional changes, physical therapy, or surgical intervention. The most common type of torticollis is congenital torticollis, which is present at birth. Torticollis that develops later in infancy or childhood is known as acquired torticollis.
