Facial asymmetry with torticollis. О. Beck (Zentr. f. Chir., 1926, No. 16)
An interesting view of the causal relationship between these two anomalies is expressed O. Beck in his report. Based on Virchow's research, observations by Ghaawitz and his own, Beck believes that facial asymmetry in caput obstipum musculare is caused by basilar depression of the base of the skull due to unilateral pressure of the atlas on the proc, condyloideus of the occipital bone. The latter causes a disorder of the growth of the base of the skull and, as a consequence, basilar kyphosis and scoliosis.
