abstract={The neglected congenital muscular torticollis (NCMT) of the adult is rare. It is due to a fibrous retraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. <b>Observation:</b><b> </b>Patient, aged 17, consulted for a neglected congenital muscular torticollis. The Clinical and radiological investigations showed severe craniofacial dysmorphosis. <b>Discussion:</b><b> </b>NCMT is a common abnormality of the child who must be treated before the age of ten. When neglected, the consequences on craniofacial growth are of order morphological, functional and psychological. We report the case of a NCMT having resulted in severe and dramatic abnormalities of the cephalic extremity.},
