Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I couldn't see the link to the pictures, but from your discription, it definitely sounds like torticollis. My son Connor had it (also tilted left and looked right). He also wore a helmet for three months. We are still having some issues with the assymetry in his jaw/face. I would definitely get a second opinion! If he does have tort, it is crucial to get x-rays (to rule out bony abnormalities) and get him into Physical Therapy (the earlier the better). Torticollis does NOT usually go away by itself, and left untreated can cause a number of other problems.
