ABSTRACT
Background:
Nontraumatic infectious atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation (AARS) is rare and less frequently encountered in adults versus children. We utilized a stepwise approach to treat two adults with nontraumatic infectious AARS and summarized the relevant literature. Case Description Two patients, ages 35 and 66, presented with classic clinical and imaging findings for infectious nontraumatic AARS. Here, we summarized the management for these two patients along with the literature.Conclusion:
Nontraumatic infectious AARS in adults requires prompt X-ray diagnosis and timely application of traction to minimize neurological deficits. MR/CT imaging next offers critical information regarding whether operative stabilization is warranted.
