[Paroxysmal torticollis in the developmental age].
An insufficiently elucidated clinical picture of paroxysmal alternating torticollis in the developing age is considered in this paper. This phenomenon is characterized by inclination of the head temporary on one side and the other, it is of various duration, with pauses and without any disturbances and symptoms. This appearance is observed in children aged 1-5. The authors assume that this rare state is a sequel of asymmetric maturation of the axial tonus. In that case, this torticollis is only the most striking phenomenon in the whole clinical picture of one-sided predomination of the axial tonus in its maturation.
