    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Neurosurgery
    • Pediatric Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Rotary subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint is an uncommon complication.
    • It can arise after head and neck surgery or infections.
    • Sequelae range from torticollis to fatal spinal cord compression.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of C1-C2 rotary subluxation are presented.
    • Complications occurred post-otitis media, choanal atresia repair, and adenoidectomy.
    • These cases highlight potential iatrogenic risks.

    Findings:

    • The study discusses two instances of C1-C2 rotary subluxation.
    • The subluxation was linked to specific surgical and infectious events.
    • Review of existing literature on atlantoaxial rotary subluxation.
