From 1961 through 1967, thirty two patients with congenital muscular torticollis was treated surgically at the Tamatsukuri Orthopedic Hospital.We examined fifteen cases of the patients, one year or more after the operation.The results obtained so far may be summerized as follows.1) All cases have not residual wry neck, but have slight motor disturbance of the neck.2) Two patients of 19 and 23 years old have had the asymmetry of the face and moderate motor disturbance of the neck. All others had good results.3) Partial resection on the insertion of the sternocleidnmastoid muscle gives relatively poor results.4) The asymmetry of the skull and face will correct itself as long as growth is present.
