Question
I recently heard from a friend that their child has been diagnosed with a condition called pediatric torticollis. It’s my first time hearing about this, and I’m worried my child might have it too. I’d like to know what causes this condition and whether it can be treated?
Answer
Hello, pediatric torticollis is a common pediatric deformity, usually caused by contact between children and pregnant women. The treatment method is to perform surgery based on the specific condition of the patient. There may be some deformities and functional impairments after surgery, but they can be corrected through orthopedic surgery at a hospital. If there is not enough skin flap, skin grafting can be performed. It’s important to pay attention to the post-operative recovery process. If your child shows similar symptoms, it is recommended that you consult a professional doctor as soon as possible to obtain accurate diagnosis and treatment advice.
