Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate any correlation between the volume of a lesion or physical training, and regression time, in congenital torticollis patients.
Materials and Methods: From January 2007 to December 2010, 63 infants and young children underwent neck ultrasound (US), as congenital torticollis was clinically suspected. We statistically analyzed the correlation between the volume of a lesion or physical training and the regression time, when successful regression was defined as no visible lesion on follow-up US, or no palpation of the lesion on clinical follow-up.
Results: Among 63 patients, 48 were sonographically diagnosed with congenital torticollis: normal delivery (n = 39) and c-sec (n = 9). Among them, 24 were clinically followed up, and 22 showed complete regression. Among 24 patients, 9 underwent physical training, and 7 showed complete regression after physical training. There was a negative correlation between the volume of a lesion and the regression time (p = 0.011), but there was no statistical significance between physical training and the regression time (p = 0.15).
Conclusion: In congenital torticollis patients, the volume of a lesion was in reverse proportion to the regression time, and physical training may be unhelpful for a decrease in regression time.
