متن کاملTraumatic odontoid process synchondrosis fracture with atlantoaxial instability in a calf: clinical presentation and imaging findings
A 6-week-old female Simmental calf was evaluated for acute non-ambulatory tetraparesis. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed no clinically relevant abnormalities. Neurological findings were consistent with acute, progressive and painful cervical myelopathy. Radiographs displayed a fractured odontoid process (dens axis) and vertebral step misalignment at the fracture site. A traumatic o...
متن کاملAtlantoaxial instability and abnormalities of the odontoid in Down's syndrome.
Radiography of the lateral neck was performed on all children with Down's syndrome aged 4-15 in the Southern Derbyshire health district (n = 67) and a random selection of adults (n = 94). Atlantoaxial instability, defined as a gap of over 4 mm, was present in seven (10%) children and two (2%) adults. Odontoid hypoplasia, defined as an odontoid peg two standard deviations below the mean in an ag...
متن کاملComputed Tomography in Infantile Atlantoaxial Rotatory Fixation
Three-dimensional CT was used to examine the atlantoaxialjoint ofa nine-year-old girl who presented with fixed rotation of the head 3.5 months after an apparently spontaneous acute torticollis. The method provided clear, anatomical images to show the site, extent and direction of the type-I rotatory fixation (Fielding and Hawkins 1977). The 3-D reconstructions helped to guide manipulation which...
متن کاملRetro-Odontoid Pseudotumor without Atlantoaxial Subluxation or Rheumatic Arthritis
We present a case of retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP) without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS). A 76-year-old woman presented with paresthesia and weakness of both lower and upper extremities. She had no laboratory or physical findings of RA. Dynamic X-ray showed no AAS and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a retro-odontoid mass compressing the spinal cord. Tran...
