Kryvosheya Dermatogenic

Dermatogenic torticollis (lat. dermatogena) is a rare congenital disease that is characterized by an abnormal development of the neck. It manifests itself in the fact that the patient's neck looks unusually short, wide and curved. Due to this disease, patients often have problems breathing, swallowing and communicating with others.

Dermatogenous torticollis belongs to a group of diseases associated with impaired development of the cervical vertebrae. Typically, a person’s neck consists of seven vertebrae, but with dermatogenous torticollis their development may be disrupted. In addition, patients may experience disturbances in the development of the muscles of the neck and head.

Dermatogenic torticollis is usually diagnosed immediately after birth. Various examination methods, such as x-rays, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, may be used to confirm the diagnosis. To treat this disease, surgical methods can be used, such as correcting the shape of the neck and vertebrae, as well as strengthening the neck muscles.

In addition, patients with dermatogenous torticollis may require long-term treatment, including physical therapy and special exercises to strengthen the muscles of the neck and head. It is also important to carry out regular examinations to monitor the progress of the disease and prevent possible complications.

In conclusion, dermatogenous torticollis is a serious congenital condition that can lead to various health problems. However, modern diagnostic and treatment methods make it possible to cope with this disease and improve the quality of life of patients suffering from dermatogenous torticollis.
