Abstract
|
|
|
Grisel¡¯s syndrome, which involves non-traumatic atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation, is a rare disease that occurs primarily in children. Herein, we present two cases of chronic and acute Grisel¡¯s syndrome that were successfully treated with traction and medication as non-surgical management. A 10-year-old male patient was diagnosed with chronic Grisel¡¯s syndrome after surgery to remove cholesteatoma in his left ear 6 months previously (Case 1), and a 5-year-old female patient was diagnosed with acute Grisel¡¯s syndrome after acute pharyngitis (Case 2). Both patients were treated with pain control and halo traction, which corrected torticollis and relieved their symptoms.
