Figure 1 A 1-month-old infant with complete resolution of congenital muscular torticollis (with physiotherapy). On the transverse image (A) of the initial neck ultrasonography, the left sternocleidomastoid muscle (arrows) shows localized enlargement in the lower third (anteroposterior diameter: 10.3 mm). On the transverse image (B) of the initial neck ultrasonography, the right sternocleidomastoid muscle (arrows) shows normal findings. On the transverse image (C) of the follow-up ultrasonography obtained 4 months after physiotherapy, the congenital muscular torticollis lesion in the left neck (arrows) is no longer observed (anteroposterior diameter: 5.3 mm).

Figure 2 A 4-month-old infant with incomplete resolution of congenital muscular torticollis (without physiotherapy). On the transverse image (A) of the initial neck ultrasonography, left sternocleidomastoid muscle (arrows) shows localized enlargement in the lower third (anteroposterior diameter: 11.5 mm). On the transverse image (B) of the initial neck ultrasonography, right sternocleidomastoid muscle (arrows) shows normal findings. On the transverse image (C) of the follow-up ultrasonography obtained 8 months after the initial ultrasonography, congenital muscular torticollis lesion in the left neck (arrows) is still observed despite minimal decrease in the thickness (anteroposterior diameter: 10.8 mm).
