Benign Paroxysmal Torticollis (BPT) describes torticollis with episodes of head tilt that alter sides. It is probably an underestimated diagnosis and milder cases may be mistaken for Congenital Muscular Torticollis (CMT). Physical Therapists (PT) should be aware of BPT as infants with BPT recover spontaneously and should not be treated for CMT. It is important to follow these infants to exclude other reasons for torticollis. A case description of an infant with suspected BPT is described.
