Congenital torticollis is most commonly caused by sternomastoid contracture. Aplasia of sternomastoid muscle causing congenital torticollis, though rare, has been reported. However the association of cerebellar hypoplasia with sternomastoid aplasia is extremely rare. The authors describe a case of congenital torticollis due to absence of the left sternomastoid with ipsilateral cerebellar hypoplasia, confirmed by MRI.
先天性斜颈最常见的原因是胸锁乳突肌挛缩。虽然罕见,但已有报道称胸锁乳突肌发育不良导致先天性斜颈。然而,小脑发育不良与胸锁乳突肌发育不良的关联极为罕见。作者描述了一例因左侧胸锁乳突肌缺失伴同侧小脑发育不良导致的先天性斜颈病例,该病例通过 MRI 得到证实。
