Torticollis in three children with syringomyelia and spinal cord tumor

Kevin J. Kiwak, MD, Marcel J. Deray, MD and W. Donald Shields, MD

Department of Neurosurgery (Dr. Kiwak) and the Departments of Pediatrics and Neurology (Drs. Deray and Shields), UCLA Center for the Health Sciences, Los Angeles, CA.

There are numerous well-known causes of acquired torticollis. However, an extensive review of the literature reveals only a rare, brief remark that associates torticollis with syringomyelia. We present three children found to have syringomyelia and spinal cord tumor, with torticollis as an early finding in each.

Accepted for publication November 16, 1982.
