BACKGROUND: Infants with torticollis require evaluation of the entire cervical spine for vertebral anomalies as part of the work-up, but open-mouth views to assess occiput to C2 are difficult to obtain. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a "head wag" autotomographic technique for the frontal projection of this region. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty infants under one year of age were evaluated using this technique. RESULTS: Sixteen of 20 could be adequately evaluated using this simple, low-radiation-dose procedure. CONCLUSION: For infants with torticollis in whom vertebral anomalies need to be excluded, the "head wag" technique is useful. |
