Popis: Fibromatosis colli (FC) is a cause of muscular torticollis that can be diagnosed by careful physical examination. In most of the cases, follow up and exercise is enough for treatment, although rare cases require surgical intervention. Clavicle fracture can be a complication of struggling vaginal parturition and usually treated by close follow up. This case was reported and discussed as a rare association that is not found in the literature and the first case diagnosed in the newborn period with unilateral FC associated with contralateral clavicle fracture in a non-macrosomic infant who was treated with dramatic response to physical therapy.
