| Popis: |
Fibromatosis colli or congenital torticollis is a rare pseudotumor of the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the newborn and infant which the mechanism of occurrence is controversial. The diagnosis is clinical. Ultrasounds make the diagnosis and eliminate other causes of torticollis. The evolution is towards spontaneous regression in a few months or with physiotherapy. We report the collected observations of two infants aged 8 and 12 weeks, respectively presenting a right and left lateral cervical mass. The clinical and ultrasound appearance strongly evoked the diagnosis. The follow-up was ultrasonographic with good clinical evolution and spontaneous regression in a few months. |
