Abstract:
Atlanto-axial luxation in uncommon in chronic arthritis in childhood, especially early in the course of the disease. One case is described in which atlanto-axial luxation occurred early. Computed tomographic myelography showed the cervico-medullary compression which was treated by transoral anterior decompression and posterior occipito-cervical fusion.
