Abstract

Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a rare condition which is seen in childhood where there is difficulty in rotating the neck and the head is tilted to one side following the stiffness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. When the patient reports for treatment during adulthood, a multidisciplinary approach involving surgical, prosthodontic and physiotherapy procedures are required. In this case report, the authors are describing successful management of an adult patient affected with CMT.
