Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pediatric Infectious Diseases
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Atlantoaxial subluxation is a rare complication of head and neck inflammation.
  • Grisel's syndrome is a non-traumatic atlantoaxial joint subluxation, typically seen in children post-infection.

Observation:

  • The pathogenesis of inflammatory atlantoaxial subluxation involves several proposed theories.
  • Grisel's syndrome is not associated with trauma or underlying bone disease.

Findings:

  • The primary treatment for Grisel's syndrome is typically medical management.
  • This case demonstrates successful treatment of atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation with external fixation and antibiotic therapy.

Implications:

  • This case expands treatment options for Grisel's syndrome.
