44. Treating Head Tilt (Torticollis) What exactly is head tilt? The condition medically known as torticollis (whichis Latin for twisted neck ) and sometimes as wryneck causes a rabbit's head http://fig.cox.miami.edu/Faculty/Dana/tilt.html

Treating Head Tilt (Torticollis) by Dana M. Krempels, Ph.D. What exactly is "head tilt?" The condition medically known as torticollis (which is Latin for "twisted neck") and sometimes as "wryneck" causes a rabbit's head to twist over sideways. Often, torticollis is accompanied by a rapid side-to-side movement of the eyeballs (nystagmus), an indication that the bunny is suffering from dizziness/vertigo that should be treated along with the problem causing the head tilt. Symptoms may appear very suddenly or exhibit a gradual onset, but the result is the same: a bunny is walking around with his head on "sideways." In some very severe cases, the bunny may be so disoriented that he simply cannot walk, and spends much of the time rolling sideways in a wild attempt to regain his footing. This is most distressing to the human caregiver, and far too many a bunny with head tilt has become the victim of his caregivers' well-meaning desire to "not let him suffer." In truth, head tilt is usually quite treatable, though recovery may be slow. Euthanasia should be considered only as a last resort, when all attempts to cure the infection have failed, leaving the bunny in misery, unwilling to eat, drink or act normally at all. Note, however, that a permanently tilted head is not a symptom requiring euthanasia! Many rabbits with their heads tilted at a jaunty angle are living completely happy lives, running and playing with all the vigor of their straight-headed bunny pals. The most important thing is to cure the source of the head-tilt symptom. Once this is accomplished, improvement of the rabbit's posture will follow more gradually, with physical therapy and exercise.

Torticollis (also called congenital muscular torticollis) is a condition that causes a baby's head and neck to tilt to one side. It affects about 2 percent of newborns. The cause is unknown, but doctors suspect that when a baby is positioned in the uterus so that her head is tilted to the side and her neck is down, the blood supply to the neck is cut off. This results in some tightness in one of the two strap (or sternocleidomastoid) muscles that connect the breastbone, head, and neck, and allow a baby to turn her neck. Though the baby may look uncomfortable, this condition causes no pain. About 8 percent of babies born with torticollis will also have other problems such as hip dislocation. How will I know if my baby has torticollis?

Disorders that can cause torticollis include congenital muscular torticollis, acquired torticollis, atlanto-axial rotary subluxation, and spasmus nutans (head tilt, nystagmus and head nodding). Children with acquired torticollis will usually hold their neck to one side and are unwilling to move it because of pain. The cause is usually unknown, but it can be secondary to trauma or inflammation after an upper respiratory tract infection, and generally improves in two to three days without treatment. Things that may make your child more comfortable include using pain relievers and a heating pad (but do not leave your younger child unsupervised with a heating pad) and more rarely a neck brace or muscle relaxers. Acquired torticollis can also be from more serious brain and spinal cord abnormalities, so a careful evaluation by your Pediatrician is usually required and may include cervical spine x-rays and/or a CT scan.

or Wry Neck also: Moebius Syndrome Goldenhar Syndrome Occular Torticollis Spastic Torticollis ... Dystonic Torticollis Our job here is twofold. First there is a common entity which is fairly straightforward in its nature. But there are also look-alikes which need to be differentiated. The typical case is a baby with a slightly turned and tilted head. Most commonly, it isn't even noticed until two to three weeks of age. Sometimes a horizontal red line is seen at the base of the neck. All that is is skin reddened from sweat trapped because of the constancy of the head to one side. Air makes that go away. Some of the more tilted and more rigid cases also have a lump on the neck muscle. It can feel hard. It isn't at all uncommon (sadly) to see parents with a sheaf of x-rays and studies trying to figure out the nature of this "tumor". It begins with a fetal posture that has the neck tilted. If that way long enough, the muscle called the "SCM" shortens. Birth gives little time for gradual stretching and that SCM muscle may very well tear as the head goes through the twists of getting born. Because the muscle tears, the head is NOT tilted. The SCM muscle sheath fills with blood and presents a fairly normal contour (not a dent). As the blood absorbs, scar tissue infiltrates the tear area and vessels come in to take away the debris - that's the swelling. Scar is nature's suture, it bridges defects then CONTRACTS. It pulls the torn ends back together. So at about two to three weeks we see the tilt for the first time, but it is really the second time as the initial tilt was out of view in the womb. The lump may be prominent or already gone.

BeimTorticollis spasmodicus handelt es sich um die häufigste Form einer fokalen Dystonie. Die deutsche Übersetzung mit "spastischer Schiefhals" ist irreführend und sollte nicht mehr benutzt werden, da es sich hier eben nicht um eine Spastik handelt. Die Erkrankung tritt meist um das 40. Lebensjahr herum auf und kann sich sehr rasch ("über Nacht) oder aber über einen Zeitraum von einigen Monaten langsam voranschreitend entwickeln. Oft sind Nackenverspannungen oder ein Kopfzittern Anfangssymptome noch bevor die Fehlstellung des Kopfes auffällt. Die klinische Erscheinung des Schiefhalses kann sehr unterschiedlich sein. Man unterscheidet sie nach den drei Hauptbewegungsrichtungen des Kopfes:

60. Spasmodic Torticollis - Torticollis.co.uk What is torticollis? Basically muscles. For some reason the regulationof the neck muscle in torticollis patients is not precise. http://www.islandnet.com/cyber/torticollis/what.htm

What is torticollis? Basically torticollis, or spasmodic torticollis, or ST as it is sometimes referred to, is a condition that causes the neck to involuntarily twist to one side. The mechanisms of the condition are not completely understood but the affliction is neurological in nature. All muscle movement is controlled by our nervous system and this system allows very precise control of our muscles. For some reason the regulation of the neck muscle in torticollis patients is not precise. You will find the condition is exacerbated by stress, so that in very stressful situations your neck may be pinned almost to one side. In your attempt to consciously straighten your neck against the twist you may find it a struggle, and the result will be a noticeable tremor of the neck and head. This can be disconcerting for the sufferer since other people may misconstrue the resulting body language. It is human nature that people don't like appearing 'different' in any way. Some people also suffer pain with the twisting, presumably the twisting may exacerbate a 'pinched nerve' or 'joint pain'. Pain is not always associated with the involuntary twisting however. ST is lumped together with other movement disorders, so you will find the broad category of 'Dystonia' is used to catagorize it. It may also be referred to as 'Focal Dystonia' since it effects only one part of the body, in this case the neck.
