Benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT) is a rare medical disorder affecting infants.〔 == Symptoms and Characteristics ==
The defining characteristic of BPT is a tilting of an infant’s head in recurrent episodes, for varying periods of time.〔Deonna, T. & Martin, D. (1981) Benign paroxysmal torticollis in infancy. Archives of Disease in Childhood. 56:956-959.〕〔 Furthermore, the child’s trunk may bend in the same direction as the head, giving the baby an overall curved shape; this complaint is known as tortipelvis.〔〔Drigo, P. Carli, G. & Laverda, A.M. (2000) Benign paroxysmal torticollis of infancy. Brain and Development. 22:169-172.〕 In addition to this, the individual may also, but not necessarily, experience vomiting, pallor, ataxia, agitation, infantile migraine, unsteadiness of gait upon learning to walk, general malaise and nystagmus.〔〔 The periods in which the child’s head is tilted and other symptoms appear can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few weeks, with a frequency of anywhere from two per year to two per month.〔〔
