| Summary: | Hemihyperplasia is a kind of regional body growth asymmetry and can be a symptom of several congenital disorders and tumorous conditions. Torticollis is most commonly caused by asymmetric hypertrophy of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Herein, we report a case of hemihyperplasia in an infant with ipsilateral torticollis. The baby was evaluated using physical examination and ultrasonography. We observed significant right-side torticollis that was ipsilateral to congenital right-side hemihypertrophy. No abnormal tumorous conditions were found during the evaluation in the pediatrics department. The patient was treated with physical therapy and exhibited mild improvements in torticollis and hemihyperplasia. |
