Torticollis is a clinical sign defined by the lateral inclination of the neck and rotation of the head, which can be fixed or flexible and accompanied or not by cervical pain. It appears in disorders of different complexity. In a case of torticollis it is necessary to carry out a careful medical history and a complete physical examination and, if persistent, request imaging tests. Reference is made to a cause of torticollis not described in the literature. This is a compressive cystic tumor in the posterior cranial fossa, Blake's pouch cyst, in a small infant diagnosed by ultrasound in the Primary Care Pediatrics office. After diagnosis, she was referred to the referral hospital, where emergency intervention was performed by pediatric neurosurgery, by fenestration of the tumor by endoscopic ventriculostomy and ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. She is currently asymptomatic and without sequelae.
