ABSTRACT We present a case of a two month
old infant with clinical suspicion of congenital
torticollis because of lateral flexion
of the head and neck since birth. There
was no response to physiotherapy and
the neck ultrasound was normal. An x-ray
of the cervical and dorsal spine showed
congenital scoliosis with failure of formation
in certain vertebras. The diagnosis of
congenital scoliosis must be considered
in cases of abnormal tilting of the head
and neck.
