ACQUIRED TORTICOLLIS RELATED TO ATLANTOOCCIPITAL SUBLUXATION FOLLOWING SARVICAL BURN

A 5-year old girl was seen in the clinic because of limited servical movements. There was a history of burn with hot water a month ago. A teapot on the shelf was turned accidentally, burning the neck of the child. Her family noticed a day later that she had limited cervical movements that did not change during the sleep. The physical examination showed only a mild skin color change due to burn. No tightness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle or skin contracture was observed. She had limited movements of the neck.
