Abstract
Benign paroxysmal torticollis is a self-limiting condition occurring during infancy. It resolves by the age of two to three years. Periodic episodes of torticollis may randomly alternate from side to side and be associated with other symptoms. The aetiology is unknown and no treatment is effective. It is relatively uncommon, and has not been previously reported in the orthopaedic literature, although initial referral may well be to an orthopaedic surgeon. We report four cases, and review the literature.
