Abstract:
The authors describe a novel posterior approach to atlantoaxial stabilization combining C1-2 transarticular and C1 lateral mass screws with vertical connecting rods to create a strong construct with four-point fixation. They present here a case of atlanto-axial instability secondary to infection, Grisel's syndrome, necessitating instrumented stabilization after a period of close clinical and radiological observation following the initial cervical decompression and evacuation of retropharyngeal and epidural abscesses.
