Q

What are the two types of torticollis?

A

congenital toritcollis = unilateral shortening of SCM m –> head rotatd away and sidebent toward fibrous “tumor”

spasmodic torticollis = adult onset, abnormal tonicity of cervical ms, usually SCM and trapezius

A

A: depresses mandible, elevates and steadies hyoid bone

I: anterior belly - mylohyoid n

posterior belly - facial n

19
Q

What are the action and innervation of stylohyoid m?
