Infant Torticollis: Did Your Child Suffer A Serious Injury?

Infant torticollis is a relatively common disorder that can cause anywhere from mild to severe damage depending on the situation. Children who suffer from this condition will have their head tilted to one side with their chin pointing the other way. It can be caused by tight muscles in their neck, but it can also be caused by abnormalities in the cervical vertebrae.

This condition is also known as Klippel-Feil syndrome and occurs when the bones were either formed abnormally, were fused together, or some combination of both. This condition is often caused by a doctor’s actions during delivery and may be prevented with timely treatment. If this is the case, you may be able to pursue a medical malpractice claim.
