ABSTRACT

La tortícolis muscular congénita (TMC) es una enfermedad frecuente, que debido a su fácil reconocimiento y exitoso tratamiento en los primeros meses de vida no suelen mostrar alteraciones clínicas en edades infantiles tardías o adultos. El escaso número de casos que prevalecen por encima de los primeros años de vida hace que exista una menor información sobre las decisiones terapéuticas a seguir. Básicamente se relegan, tras fracasar la fisioterapia, al uso de toxina botulínica o de una cirugía específica. Presentamos el caso clínico de una paciente diagnosticada finalmente, ya en edad adulta de TMC, y que fue tratada mediante sección unipolar de la porción clavicular del esternocleidomastoideo seguida de una rehabilitación específica, intensa y precoz, con muy buenos resultados estéticos y funcionales (AU)


Congenital muscular torticollis is a common condition. Because it is easy to recognize and its successful treatment during the first months of life, clinical changes are not usually found in the late childhood or adult age. As few cases prevail after the first years of life, there is less information about treatment decisions to follow. When physical therapy fails, these treatments are basically relegated to botulinum toxin or specific surgery. We report the case of a patient who was finally diagnosed in adulthood of congenital muscular torticollis. This patient was treated by unipolar sectioning of the clavicular portion of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. This was followed by specific, early and intense rehabilitation, with very good esthetic and functional results (AU)
