Cervical myelopathy caused by atlantal hypoplasia has been reported in only 11 patients. Atlantal hypoplasia combined with torticollis has not been reported. Rotation of the atlantoaxial joint causes spinal canal narrowing at the atlantoaxial level and stretches the vertebral artery, which may aggravate the symptoms and signs of compressive cervical myelopathy from atlantal hypoplasia. We present a patient with cervical myelopathy from atlantal hypoplasia, retrodental pseudotumor, and torticollis.
仅11例患者报告了由寰椎发育不全引起的颈椎脊髓病。寰椎发育不全合并斜颈尚未见报道。寰枢关节旋转会导致寰枢水平椎管狭窄并牵拉椎动脉，这可能会加重寰椎发育不全所致压迫性颈椎脊髓病的症状和体征。我们报告1例患有寰椎发育不全、齿突后假瘤及斜颈所致颈椎脊髓病的患者。
