Familial torticollis with polydactyly: manifestation in three generations.
Familial transmission of congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) has been reported in the literature, and postaxial polydactyly has been frequently reported in familial cases, but, to our knowledge, familial CMT with postaxial polydactyly has not been described. In this article, we report a rare case of CMT with postaxial polydactyly in 3 generations of a family and suggest an autosomal-dominant pattern of inheritance in these cases.
