Strategies for torticollis reduction and successful surgical outcome are discussed.

Cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) is a focal dystonia of the cervical region.
3
Lack of effective interaction between two major systems controlling head position may contribute to torticollis.
4
The diagnosis was torticollis of the neck.
5
We studied the effect of botulinum toxin injection in 30 patients with torticollis in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study.
1
A cross-bill (loxia curvirostra) was killed last year in this neighbourhood.
2
There were parrots, and paroquets, and orioles, and blue-jays, and beautiful loxias, both of the scarlet and azure-coloured species.

4
Torticollis (stiff or wryneck).-Itis usually on the side or back of the neck.
5
The spinal accessory occasionally may be divided before it enters the sterno-mastoid in cases of spasmodic wryneck, with great advantage.

The aim of the present study is to present the results of the surgical management of late presenting cases of congenital musculartorticollis.
2
Between 1990 and 2010, 31 cases of late presenting congenital musculartorticollis were managed surgically in our department.
