TI  - [3D-CT investigation of craniofacial and cervical spine anomalies in congenital 
      muscular torticollis].
PG  - 272-9
AB  - PURPOSE: To investigate the accompanied craniofacial and cervical spine anomalies 
      in congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) with three-dimensional computerized 
      tomography (3D-CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined six cases of CMT. Cranial 
      and cervical 3D CT was performed in all cases. Facial midline deviation angle 
      (FDA), upper hemifacial width, lower hemifacial width (LHFW), length of 
      hemimandible and zygomatic arcus, posterior hemicranial width (PHCW), anterior 
      hemicranial width and cranial base midline deviation angle (CBDA) were measured 
      on cranial 3D-CT images. Value of orbital index was calculated. Data achieved 
      both ipsilaterally and contralaterally were compared with paired t-test. 
      Atlanto-axial rotation angle (AARA) and atlantodental interval (ADI) values were 
      measured on cervical 3D-CT images. RESULTS: Ages ranged between 2-26 years with a 
      M/F ratio of 1/5. Facial asymmetry was diagnosed in all cases and LHFW was 
      significantly undersized when compared to contralateral side (p < 0.05). FDA was 
      measured 5.4+/-2.0 degrees on the average. Zygomatic arcus and hemimandible were 
      significantly undersized on the side of torticollis (p < 0.05). Occipital 
      plagiocephaly existed in all cases and PHCW was significantly extensive on 
      torticollis side (p < 0.05). CBDA was measured 4.5+/-1.7 degrees on the average. 
      Rotational movement of atlas over axis was observed in all cases where the AARA 
      was 15.0+/-7.4 degrees. ADI was lesser than 3 mm in all cases. CONCLUSION: Even 
      occipital plagiocephaly, maxillary and orbital deformity were commonly found in 
      cases of CMT, most dominant asymmetry was observed in lower hemifacial region, 
      zygomatic arcus and mandible by 3D-CT imaging. Rotational movement of first 
      cervical vertebra over the second one was determined in all cases.
