ABS TRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the pediatric patients with torticollis admitted to our outpatient clinic. Material and Methods: Patients were evaluated retrospectively in terms of age, gender, congenital/acquired condition of torticollis, type of delivery, involved side, determined etiologic factors, applied treatments and concomitant clinical findings. Results: The mean age of our patients (36 females, 34 males) was 13.9±22.89 months (min: 1; max: 108). Right sternocleidomastoid muscle was involved in 57.1% of the patients. Sixty-four (91.4%) of the patients were diagnosed as congenital torticollis; while 8.6% (n: 6) was acquired torticollis. Of the cases with torticollis, 78.6% (n: 55) were born by normal spontaneous vaginal delivery and 12.9% (n: 9) were born by assistive methods such as vacuum /forceps. Physiotherapy exercises are the most commonly used treatment modality both for congenital and acquired torticollis. Conclusion: In pediatric patients with congenital or acquired torticollis, the basis of treatment is physiotherapy exercises. However, it is important to determine the etiology (birth trauma, intrauterine malposition, cervical hemivertebra, cervical lymphadenopathy, strabismus) and if possible, the underlying cause should be treated.
