Patient's question:
Some dolls are very good at eating and sleeping after birth. When they are about twenty days old, the mother noticed a lump on the right side of the baby's neck, which was hard like bone, while there was none on the left side. I suspect it might be a neck tilt. I want to ask if neck tilt is common in babies?Doctor's answer:
Infant neck torticollis is a common condition in infants, and infants with neck torticollis require the most timely pediatric examination, diagnosis, and treatment. Currently, the most commonly used method for examining infant neck displacement is ultrasound. Patients with complex conditions require laboratory tests and imaging tests. The diagnosis of infant cervical curvature not only requires clear examination results but also requires differential diagnosis from diseases such as abnormal eye muscles, neck inflammation, and skeletal neck torticollis.
