Torticollis, also known as wryneck or twisted neck, is a twisting of the neck that causes the head to rotate and tilt at an odd angle. The exact cause of torticollis is often unknown.

Congenital muscular torticollis is a condition you are born with. It's more likely to happen in firstborn children. This may also be accompanied by a congenital hip dislocation. The cause is likely from the baby’s position in the uterus, which leads to injury to the neck muscles.

Acquired torticollis may be caused by irritation to the cervical ligaments from a viral infection, injury, or vigorous movement.
