Abstract: | Fibromatosis Colli also known as congenital torticollis is a rare cause of benign cervical pseudotumor in neonates, consisting of benign fibrous tissue proliferation within the sternocleidomastoid muscle, resulting in a fusiform enlargement. The cause of fibrosis is unknown; however it could be linked to trauma during pregnancy or at the time of birth, resulting in hemorrhage and, subsequently, fibrosis. Ultrasound plays a necessary role in confirming this diagnosis and follow-up. We Report a case of Fibromatosis colli in a four-week old newborn who was diagnosed using ultrasonography and treated with physiotherapy. |
