Hi,

Swallowing problems should always be suspected and ruled out when there
torticollis. Motor fibers from the IX craneal nerve (spinal accesory) are
in charge of innervating the esternocleoidomastoid and trapeze muscles (in
charge of neck movement), and also throat, larynx (intrinsic muscles) and
palate. So, if there is a lession of the IX nerve, you might see a
torticollis and also a swallowing problem.

Hugs from Madrid.
Kika
