Benign paroxysmal torticollis disappears in the early years of life with no medical intervention. [1] [2] [3] However, some cases of benign paroxysmal torticollis cases can evolve into benign paroxysmal vertigo of childhood, migrainous vertigo or typical migraines. [1] [2]
Not all patients were diagnosed at an early stage. In 29% of fetuses the first ultrasound examination failed to detect the deformity which subsequently became obvious at a later examination. Clubfoot was diagnosed between 12 and 23 weeks of gestation in 86% of children and between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation in the remaining 14%. [17]

[ 4 ] Congenital fourth nerve palsy can affect reading comprehension (and concentration during other near tasks) due to the increased vertical fusional demands and head tilting required to maintain single vision ...
More than 98% of infants with torticollis treated before 1 month of age recover by 2.5 months of age. [34] Infants between 1 and 6 months usually require about 6 months of treatment. [ 34 ] After that point, therapy will take closer to 9 months, and it is less likely that the torticollis will be fully resolved. [ 34 ]
