Abstract:
Down syndrome is the most common inherited chromosomal disorder caused by trisomy 21. Atlantoaxial instability (AAI) is more common in children with Down syndrome, resulting from ligament laxity and odontoid dysplasia. We report the case of a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome submental. She came to the ER with a history of abnormal gait for one week and was admitted with a case of ataxia for investigations. Moreover, we discovered that she had atlantoaxial subluxation, which was treated surgically.
