Background:

  • Torticollis, a condition characterized by head tilt, presents differently in children versus adults.
  • Congenital causes are prevalent in pediatric torticollis, contrasting with adult presentations.
  • Understanding the diverse etiologies of pediatric torticollis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

Observation:

  • This review examines pediatric torticollis specifically associated with otolaryngologic disorders.
  • Three distinct clinical cases illustrating these associations are presented.
  • The otolaryngologic origins of torticollis in children are often overlooked.

Findings:

  • Pediatric torticollis can manifest due to various ear, nose, and throat conditions.
