Uncommon torticollis in children.
We report on one case of uncommon torticollis in children caused by a pencil cap lodged in the neck. Diagnosis had been established two months after the trauma, during a screening for oro-pharyngeal cancer. The foreign body had pierced the posterior wall of pharynx without damaging the spine and large vessels.
