Abstract
|
|
|
|
Acute atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation in young children has been reported to result in torticollis. It is known as pathological fixation of the atlas on the axis during rotation. It could be accompanied with trauma, upper respiratory infection, head and cervical operation, genetic disease such as Down syndrome. It presents restriction of neck mobility without pain or neurologic deficit. Treatment of atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation is simple traction and/or collar, and finally skeletal traction or operative reduction and/or bony fusion. We present the case of an 8 year old girl who had the atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation spontaneously without trauma, genetic, chromosomal, structural abnormality. And she had been treated successful by continuous simple halter traction for 1 week. So we report this case with review of literature.
