what is CMT
unilateral shortening of the SCM and fertile rotation away from involved side
what side is CMT named for
shortened side
what nerve is involved with CMT
spinal accessory nerve
insertion and origin of CMT
mastoid process and nuchal line
sternal head and clavicular head
what is CD
distortion of the skull shape
can be pre or post natally
how many infants with CMT have CD
90 percent
what does CD increase risk of
facial, ear, or mandibular asymmetry
what can cause CMT prenatally
ischemic injury or head position
what can cause CMT perinatally
birth trauma from Breech or assisted delivery
what can cause CMT postnatally
hip dysplasia, CD, or positional preferences
what happens with CMT with sternomastoid tumor? what can be present?
excessive fibrosis, hyperplasia, atrophy
nodules may be present
what to do if treating an infant with SCM nodules
refer to surgery
factors that influence CMT prognosis
age of referral, severity of ROM limitations, thickness of nodules, interventions
what can worsen CD postnatally
positioning- supine
CMT
factors associated with CD
male, first born, forceps/vacuum delivery, supine position
bradycephaly CMT
wide medial-lateral
plagiocephaly CMT
long anterior- posterior
grading for CMT
1-8 (higher is worse)
1-3 between 0-6 months
4 and 6 between 7-9 months
5 between 10-12 months
7 between 7-12 months
8 is older than a year
higher stages have more nodules
grading for CD plagiocephaly
1-5
grading for CD brachycephaly
1-3
how can families help with therapy at home for CMT?
put toys on sides that the child is tilted away from
get them to look other direction
facilitate wanted movement
spine involvement with CMT?
changes rotation - curved on opposite side
what is craniosynostosis?
sutures fuse and if they fuse early the skull cannot expand
important to differentiate from CD
who can get acquired CMT?
ocular lesion, benign paroxysmal torticolis, dystonic syndrom, infections, arnold-chiari malformation
