Hi....by what you quote, this seems to be a recurrent torticollis in your kid. We need to rule out causes like - Congenital anomalies of the occipital condyles and upper cervical spine/ eye muscle weakness, Sandifer s syndrome resulting from gastroesophageal reflux, neural axis abnormalities, and benign paroxysmal torticollis/ atlantoaxial rotatory displacement resulting from trauma or oropharyngeal inflammation (Grisel s syndrome)/ Retropharyngeal abscesses and pyogenic cervical spondylitis. Intermittent torticollis associated with headaches, vomiting, or neurologic symptoms may be caused by tumors of the posterior fossa. Benign and malignant neoplasms of the upper cervical spine are rare causes of torticollis in children. All the above conditions require thorough neurological evaluation and an MRI spine and brain.
