Myanmar Girl's Head Tilt Corrected in India Surgery
29 Oct
Summary
- A four-year-old from Myanmar received life-changing surgery in India.
- She was treated for a congenital neck deformity, torticollis.
- The surgery successfully realigned her head and neck post-op.
A young girl from Myanmar, aged four, has successfully undergone reconstructive surgery in India to correct a congenital neck deformity. Diagnosed with congenital torticollis, her condition caused her head to tilt significantly, impacting her appearance and leading to social ridicule.
Her case was initially identified in May 2026 by a visiting medical team in Myanmar. Following a remote consultation, her family traveled to India for specialized treatment at Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket. Doctors performed surgery to release the contracted muscle on the right side of her neck.
This procedure allowed her head and neck to return to a more natural alignment. Dr. Sunil Choudhary emphasized the importance of timely assessment, noting that persistent head tilt can lead to facial asymmetry and affect a child's development. The child experienced a good recovery and was discharged after the initial healing phase, returning to Myanmar after ten days.
