By the way, my son`s torticollis was caused @ birth, where they tore up his sternocleidomastoid muscle....caused severe Plagiocephaly...2 Doc bands later + after 2 years of PT, OT and speech, he is fine=all these were caused by torticoliis....keep in mind, MANY doctors down play torticollis BUT it can cause major delays...........I hope that your son will get help with S. syndrome treatment

Harry and Archie were always like that and Harry DID get Torticolis (sp) from the constant neck arching. Poor little mites Archie had more pronounced Sandifer's but never got the torticollis.
Sam never got torticollis but he has mild positional placiocephaly. Sometimes during his SS episodes he holds his breath and his face always gets red....his body gets stiff and his arms go out from his sides with fists clenched. All this is usually followed by a very loud scream and when I pick him up he stops immediately. They look exactly like the seziures called Infantile Spasms so he had many neurological tests at Children's Hospital until they figured out what the issue really was.
All his SS episodes can be prevented by never laying him flat on his back except for diaper/clothing changes.
Archie had more pronounced Sandifer's but never got the torticollis.
