Craniofacial asymmetry associated with torticollis
Craniofacial asymmetry associated with torticollis
(A) Schematic diagram of potential skeletal changes with persistent torticollis, including decreased ramal height, recession of the zygoma, and changes in the orbit on the affected side (right). (B) Schematic diagram of potential facial changes with persistent torticollis, including recession of the ear and narrowing of the palpebral fissure on the affected (right) side, with associated asymmetry of the nose and commissures.
