Some causes of acquired torticollis include: 1  a mild (usually viral) infection. 2  minor trauma to the head and neck. 3  gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)  respiratory and soft-tissue infections of the 1  neck. abnormalities in the cervical spine (such as atlantoaxial subluxation)  vision problems (called ocular torticollis)
Occasionally, no condition is found as a cause. Trauma to the neck or spine can lead to torticollis. Injuries to the cervical spine or neck muscles often result in spasm of the muscles, leading to the twisting of the head, characteristic of torticollis. Other causes include infection of the head or neck. These infections can cause an inflammatory torticollis secondary to inflamed glands and lymph nodes in the neck. The muscles overlying these lymph nodes contract.
