Q

c. What is wry neck often associated with? When may onset occur?

A

a. Injury to the SCM muscle on one side at the time of birth, during a difficult delivery. This transforms the muscle into a fibrous cord that cannot lengthen with growing neck
b. May onset at any age.
i. Children –> congenial torticollis
ii. Adult –> acquired torticollis
1) Most often 3rd and 6th decades of life, sudden or of gradual onset
