Summary

The congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is defined by an abnormal posture of the head and the neck compared to shoulders' level of the newborn. The mainly affected muscle is the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) causing a lateral inclination of the head on the side affected by the CMT and a rotation on the opposite side. CMT comes with asymmetricalndeformation of the skull or plagiocephaly, facial asymmetry, skull and cranio-vertebral deformatioes in CMT are the results of a complex mechanism of biomechanical stresses upon a developing skull. The hypothesis of a traction force on the base of the skull from the SCM could explain most of all the asymmetrical deformatios encountered in CMT. It would be associated to a compression force at the occipital level
