Diagnosis of acute atlanto-axial rotatory fixation.
We report three cases of atlanto-axial rotatory fixation in adults. Early diagnosis was made by clinical tests showing restricted head rotation in maximal neck flexion and asymmetry of the transverse processes of the atlas, confirmed by cineradiography. Early treatment by traction may obviate long-term problems of torticollis and instability.
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 کاملRotatory dislocation of both atlanto-axial joints.
A case of rotatory dislocation of both atlanto-axial joints is presented. A review of the literature reveals two other cases, both in children. This would appear to be the first report in an adult, who survived and made a full recovery.
متن کاملAtlanto-axial rotatory fixation in a girl with Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome
We report a 15-year-old girl who presented with spinal malsegmentation, associated with other skeletal anomalies. The spinal malsegmentation was subsequently discovered to be part of the spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome. In addition, a distinctive craniocervical malformation was identified, which included atlanto-axial rotatory fixation. The clinical and the radiographic findings are des...
متن کاملAtlanto-axial rotatory fixation and fracture of the clavicle. An association and a classification.
Five children with atlanto-axial rotatory fixation (AARF) in association with fractures of the clavicle are described. It is postulated that the rotary fixation is a direct result of the trauma which produces the fracture. The importance of early diagnosis is stressed, since delayed diagnosis may lead to chronic deformity. Early diagnosis depends on awareness of the possibility of AARF, and eit...
