Summary
Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT) is a postural deformity of head and neck detected at
birth or shortly after birth, primarily resulting from unilateral shortening of
Sternocleidomastoid Muscle (SCM). Surgery could be chosen for the treatment for some
children, which is accompanied by moderate pain and discomfort. The investigators focused the
effectiveness of intermediates cervical plexus block because the dermatome of sensory of
cervical plexus block is correlated to that of torticollis. So the effect of analgesia could
decrease the use of analgesics.
