Q

What is congenital torticollis?

A

A disorder where a fibrous tissue tumor forms in the sternocleidomastoid muscle which causes the head to turn and the face to look away from the affected side.

A hematoma can arise and impinge on the spinal accessort nerve, which denervates the SCM.

38
Q

What is zone 2 of penetrating neck trauma?

*most dangerous,more common, but easiest to fix*

A

From cricoid cartilage to the angle of mandible.

Structures at risk: Laryngeal cartilages, larynx, laryngopharynx, carotid A., Jugular V., esophagus, cervical vertebrae
