Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Radiology
  • Pediatric Traumatology

Background:

  • Traumatic torticollis in children can present with various underlying causes.
  • Atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) is a specific, yet often overlooked, diagnosis.
  • Prompt recognition and management are crucial to prevent long-term sequelae.

Observation:

  • This case report details a pediatric patient presenting with torticollis following trauma.
  • Characteristic radiographic findings suggestive of AARS were identified.
  • The clinical presentation and diagnostic imaging are discussed.

Findings:

  • The study emphasizes the importance of considering AARS in traumatic torticollis.
  • Radiographic features such as malalignment and abnormal C1-C2 relationships are highlighted.
  • Appropriate management protocols for AARS are outlined.

Implications:

  • Early identification of AARS can lead to timely intervention and improved outcomes.
  • This case underscores the need for thorough radiographic evaluation in pediatric neck trauma.
  • Understanding the diagnostic criteria and management is vital for clinicians managing pediatric torticollis.
