Hey all,

Facial asymmetry and discoordinated tongue movements usually mean traumatic 
birth and cranial nerve injury.  Torticollis is different from looking to 
one partciular side.  In torticollis, the shoulder leans to one side and 
the gaze is over the other shoudler.  A preference for gaze to one side can 
mean injury.  That along with colored emesis means that this child should 
be seen ASAP.
