What causes the tightness or shortening of the neck muscle? Some times a traumatic birth injury causes stretching and scaring of the neck muscle. Congenital infant torticollis can also be caused by babyâs position in the womb. Torticollis is more common in situations where there is lack of space in the womb. For example with multiple births or when there is little amniotic fluid.
Torticollis is a problem involving the muscles of the neck that causes the head to tilt down. The term comes from two Latin words: tortus, which means twisted, and collum, which means neck. If your baby has the condition at birth, itâs called congenital muscular torticollis. Thatâs the most common type.
