title: [Febrile acute torticollis (author's transl)].
abstract: Febrile acute torticollis in the child represents a special clinical picture. Of variable cause, it may be indicative of an inflammatory, infectious or dystrophic pathology affecting any of the anatomical structures of the neck. Treatment is quite clearly defined, and it may be a therapeutic emergency. All ENT specialists must be familiar with this since they are most likely to be the first physician to whom such a child is brought.
