Acquired Torticollis may be due to trauma, inflammatory, psychogenic or neoplastic. Congenital muscular Torticollis is a postural deformity of head and neck detected at birth or shortly after birth, primarily resulting from unilateral fibrosis & shortening of the Sternocleidomastoid muscle. Torticollis is also known as twisted neck.
